Hi Raymond, perhaps an even easier way for you is to use the net-boot (minimal install) image[1], this has tasksel built in and then you can select which 'bits' of server you want along with the choice of either lubuntu-desktop, or lubuntu-minimal. The Ubuntu family is nothing if not extremely flexible in how you install it!
