I think it depends on whether the machines for which a "core install" would be appropriate have enough RAM to even use the Lubuntu GUI installer at all. My suspicion is that they would not -- in which case, this idea does not help the machines that a "core install" is needed for. > In our case I'd think we'd only need one additional screen where a > person could choose either a "core" install or a "full" install.

Which is why I asked what the target audience is, and want to see evidence of a significant number of users of an unofficial way to do this (easy menu-driven lubuntu-core install) before spending "official" dev time on it.
