I met such scenario several times when promoting FOSS. But in this case, it is still running on a virtual machine. In real machine cases I met (mostly old Eeepc) they were single core and hence need i386 version, but the memory was too few (less then 1G) to run Kubuntu live! Only native Lubuntu i386 could fit into those machines. Franklin -- Franklin Weng 中華民國軟體自由協會理事長 LibreOffice 導入專家 LibreOffice 法人代表文件基金會董事、認證委員會委員 KDE 協會成員、歐洲自由軟體基金會成員
