Wait! xchat does not load by default at boot. How does it waste RAM? It is only using RAM when you choose to run it. If "wasting RAM" is the issue, then removing xchat from the default install will not solve it. What led you to conclude that including xchat is "wasting RAM"? If we need more space on the CD for new whizzy stuff, OK, then we probably need to go through the package list looking for things we can remove. What new whizzy stuff is being added in Lubuntu 11.10 that requires extra disk/CD space? I thought we had more or less reached consensus among the devs that Lubuntu 11.10 was primarily a "bug fix and migrate to official build infrastructure and GTK3" release -- has that changed?
