OK, thanks to erratic sleep patterns, I'm late to the party :)

Downloaded the iso, detailed below:-
5b3b043538121f3959a80deec0ddb742  lubuntu-16.10-beta1-alternate-i386.iso

Installed it on my Samsung NC10 Netbook (32-bit Intel Atom CPU, 2 GiB RAM,
320GB hard drive), further hardware details can be found here:-
https://gist.github.com/21b61903871ee685fc79

OS. Install
* Had a look at the papercuts listed on [1]
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/Beta1/Lubuntu
* As usual, for an install iso too big for a CD-R, I used Startup Disc
Creator to create USB install media.
* Installed with no errors, using an Ethernet connection.
* Rebooted OK, logged in OK/

Using the O.S.
* Did a man mkdir command and got the error message "bash: man: command not
found"
* Which man revealed that man command not on path
* Checked the keyboard for programmer specific keys - in particular double
and single-quotes work fine.

Ruby
* Used Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) to install ruby, ruby2.3-doc
* Tried commands irb, ri
* Installed emacs using SPM
* When editing a (Ruby) text file in emacs, noticed 2 mysterious blank
lines between "File" etc at the top of the windows and the first line of a
text file. Further investigation revealed that the usual icons that are
usually near the top of the emacs windows weren't present, resulting in
blank space.

etc.
* Installed gnome-games (SPM) and it worked fine.

HTH,


Ian

We have a couple papercuts listed in the release notes[1], so please
take a look.

A big thanks to the whole Lubuntu team and contributors for helping pull
this release together.

Hi,

*Yakkety i386 beta 1*

A new mini.iso file was uploaded after we tested it yesterday. I think 
it contains the current debian installer.


---
$ ls -l mini.iso
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nio nio 50331648 aug 25 20:35 mini.iso
$ md5sum mini.iso
9a82696d120d55ac15ccbdc32545c240  mini.iso
---

I created a mini.iso system from it, and it works for me, for example 
thernet works out of the box. I installed lubuntu-desktop, and rebooted.


Lubuntu created this way works like when installed via the Lubuntu 
Alternate iso file. In nm-applet the options about wired network is 
greyed out, but the wired network works, and it is possible to connect 
via wifi.


-o-

I tested again to install Lubuntu from the Lubuntu desktop beta1 iso 
file, manual selection of partitions 'Something else'. The installation 
was successful. In nm-applet the options about wired network are 
available (not greyed out).


I updated & dist-upgraded this installed system and rebooted. The 
network (wired and wireless) works, and in nm-applet the options about 
wired network are still available (not greyed out).


-o-

So there is a difference between the behaviour of the installed system 
between Lubuntu installed via the debian installer (alternate and mini) 
and via ubiquity (desktop).


Best regards
Nio
