On the other hand 8.10 won't fire up on my laptop because of missing support for switchable graphics %) Just thinking aloud - would it be wise to create an override apt profile for lubuntu which will suppress all the 'recommended' and 'suggested' dependencies by default? After restricting /gnome|kde|qt[2-4]/ in apt it is annoying to retype each time '--no-install-recommends' after install aborts bcz of missing dependencies. -- Looking forward to reading yours.
