Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to reduce the memory footprint of the installer for 11.04. We used the same than Ubuntu, which have some advantages (ex: shared development) and disadvantages (ex: memory usage is not the priority of the ubiquity devs). Installer need some

Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to reduce the memory footprint of the installer for 11.04. The other question this poses is, is it really necessary to have a graphical installer as the default for Lubuntu? Some time ago, there was a question on the mailing list What do you

Text based installer + 1. The alternate CD with console-based UI is good enough IMO if it can have l10n user interface. Windows installer has long been text-based since windows 3.1 and it's still text-based in windows xp. Nobody complains of this so why should we insist that there should be a

It needs to be a base system + X11 Otherwise it won't work. The other problem is the enormous effort and work we need to put in such a project. (e.g. I can promise you lots and lots of bugs, and yes I created an installer for ZevenOS-Neptune on my own, so I have a little experience in this)

+1 alternate CD It´s suppose that the minimal memory for use Lubuntu is 192MB, but with 256MB to install it, it´s impossible to use it with a very old computer. My suggestion it´s to share a text install (alternate CD) by default. Anyway now Lubuntu isn't for beginners Linux user, so with a text

Currently the alternate CD contains a nice text-based installer. What I suggested is to make a new installer based on the current one in alternate cd. However, the new installer only install the minimal base system + core utils + X11 + gdm + drivers to harddisk. Then, reboot into X11 and then we

Should we consider putting it on the list of ubiquity devs to reduce memory footprint? Once we are an official derivative of Ubuntu we might have a better foot to stand on and ask for these things. But it would even benefit Ubuntu I guess. Lower footprint would speed up installation as well? Just
