1) That means you know something which we do not. And/ or 2) Your test machines are not representive/ including entire sample set. Of course, (2) is impossible for one person or even one team to tackle. **But if all of us add our parameters & outcomes to a Database, it could help the devs to pinpoint the causes of problems instead of guessing or even doubting the existence of installation-problems. All features of a great software are in vain if it is not installed. Whether because it is un-installable or because the user is incompetent, the outcome is the same. " Even a high RAM machine cannot install Lubuntu with slideshow if the processor is AMDK6/ does not support SSE2 " **There must be MANY such observations, as of now unverified/ undocumented, which could be gathered & addressed or maybe documented onscreen so that a newbie installing Lubuntu does not give up in frustration. One thing I have wished for is an INDICATION that installation is proceeding normally. After half an hour or more of no feedback except maybe a blinking cursor, a user tends to get curious, depressed, or impatient. If it uses too much resources to give a reassuring feedback, then atleast there could be a page or message giving estimates of time required based on processor/ RAM/ etc. Actually, I found it difficult to hit SEND on this message because there is danger of sounding whiney & ungrateful ( and repetitive ) But believe me, I am grateful. But for Lubuntu, I would be spending wastefully on new hardware and Windows or getting very drowsy trying bloated Linuxes on this hardware. So thanks to all responsible !
