Since you said, "This is a one-time message", I'm probably wasting my time 
replying but I honestly would have appreciated more info.

Both Lubuntu and Xubuntu use Ubuntu's installers. The live installer is 
"ubiquity" and the text/alternate installer is the "debian-installer" with a 
few minor tweaks.

I'm not a developer but I've been iso-testing Ubuntu for nearly 4 years and a 
total rebuild of 'ubiquity' just prior to the release of Maverick did present 
one nasty bug and a few minor challenges, but those should be largely 
straightened out.

Most importantly there is no real difference between Lubuntu's installer and 
Xubuntu's installer, just different artwork. The only thing I can think of that 
might cause someone to think things are going to blow up is this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/766265

I wish I had more info to work with,

Lance

This is a one-time message to warn other potential lubuntu users.

Yesterday I have tried to install lubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso to my laptop. 
It has not given me the choice where to install to and tried to overwrite my 
current system. Luckily I was closely observing the progress and was able to 
abort in time.
Also it did not find my wifi.

I have now chosen to install xubuntu instead, where I was able to install to 
the partition of my choice, also it did find my wifi no problem.



On a side note, it is very disturbing to read personal notes of unknown and 
non-introduced persons on the primary website. This makes it look very 
non-professional. I must suspect the project is targeted to a small circle of 
insiders only.

To my opinion lubuntu has a long way to go.
