If you install Ubuntu using a minimal "alternate" install CD, it doesn't boot the OS and you can then by using the gnewsense repositories upgrade to gnewsense. Not sure how well it works, but I saw it mentioned on the site somewhere. Comrade Ringo Kamens

Unfortunately I've not seen any other way currently on installing gNewSense. Perhaps it is possible to run the cd while booted in to another distro that is installed, and let it just slowly install itself? I'm not sure if this is even possible, and it'd probably be messy. What would be very nice, would be a server oriented gNewSense, or at least one without a gui, or just the minimal graphics deps.

Maybe you'll have to wait a few months for Glossy GNU and the gNewSense fork, and hopefully there will be an XFCE disc. > > On Mon, Apr 30, 2007 at 07:29:46PM -0400, eduardo.rodriguez wrote: > > > > Yes it get to the desktop, but the installation process is too slow.
