Hi all,

I just checked our Minimal Install guide
at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall.

I don't know why we use "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends
lubuntu-desktop" command to install Lubuntu. With "--no-install-recommends"
we only have Lubuntu with PCManFM, Leafpad, LXTerminal, Synaptic, Update
Manager and Preferred Applications.

As I understand, Minimal Install is for people who want to get a full
Lubuntu desktop by installing via a Ubuntu minimal CD or USB because they
can't use Ubiquity.
Using "--no-install-recommends" could make newbie confused when their
desktops almost have nothing.

My understanding is different although I don't know which of us is
correct. For mine if all you're trying to do is avoid Ubiquity then
why not just use the alternate installer? To me the minimal
installation is just that, the bare minimum. From what I understand
the minimum install is aimed at REALLY low end computers or people not
wanting to download lots of data over the internet. If you have a
really low end computer you only want the bare minimum, if you don't
want to download large ISOs why would you want to download all the
other stuff anyway?

I'm happy to be proved wrong but I just have a different understanding
and hoping to clear the issue for both our sakes.


I used the alternate to install to an old laptop 1.3 GHz Celeron M & 256 
Mb RAM (since upgraded).
Ubiquity kept crashing & the alternate worked just fine.  It gave me a 
full Lubuntu install.


Today I have used the Mini iso to install to a Compaq TC1000 Tablet with 
a 1GHz Transmeta Crusoe CPU & 256 Mb RAM (possibly 512,it's a bit 
unclear).   No, I don't know what a Crusoe CPU is either.  For the 
tablet I want the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of 'stuff' on there & I'll try to 
build something half workable from there.  All I have at the moment is a 
browser, window manager & synaptic, pretty much.  I'm going to start on 
wireless tomorrow.


I never thought I'd see the day I'd be doing this kind of thing, you 
guys have inspired me to be brave :)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDE 'running' on the Nook

[Phil Lockhart]

  
  
I've been trying to get Lubuntu to run on a Compaq TC1000 tablet
which is almost antique I think.  Not having much luck, particularly
with wireless.

Does this bode well for trying to install Lubuntu on a HP ipaq 2490b
I wonder.?  That would be awesome.

  And me joking about
  installing Lubuntu directly on my phone :) And look,
  it could be a good implementation on tablet and mobile
  devices.

  

  Nice video!

  Thought this may be of interest, still a way to go before
  it runs fully but still interesting.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] ozone2 updates

[Phil Lockhart]

Hello all.
I prefer the standard wallpaper.
I find the panels agreeable from what I can see.  the icons stand out
well against them IMHO.
Currently on 11.04 I use the gnome icons, as I found the default theme
file manager icon & wireless 'connecting' indicator blended too well
with the blue panel for me.  (I am due an eye test soon though).

I like it so far.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Menu

sorry, I mean the Ozone menu icon.  I've fallen back to the default as
it's easier to see

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Menu

Got to agree with Yorvyk on the menu icon lacking something.  I find it
a little difficult to see on my test machine's monitor.

Sorry, I should have added that my old test machine runs on a AMD Athlon
64 cpu too.
