The minimum required is probably just the stage3, plus a kernel package and a bootloader of some kind. The stage3 tarball is very minimal as it is. Of course one man's minimal is another man's bloat... so you could probably trim some things like ./usr/share > I would also VERY MUCH like to stay as far away from systemd et al. as > possible. Same. I only mentioned that because, as I already admitted, I was describing how to get as close to a full Ubuntu as possible.
