Do you mean it set up a static IP address for the Lubuntu machine, instead of using DHCP? Or something else? What is a "portable" network installation? My VM install on a desktop host isn't "portable" (well, except by copying the .vdi file and xml file defining the VM, I suppose!). > A.

They may be, but we are Lubuntu... recommending other distros is outside our scope :) > B. What about zRAM for the alternate iso? Please state your opinion! I'd like to see it tested. Phill and I poked Julien about this recently -- if it is easy to add, we'll get it added so we can test it.
