+1 for handling alternate CD as a main distribution, with an option to
switch to LiveCD+Ubiquity for those who install Lubuntu on more
resource-rich configurations.

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).

Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to reduce the memory footprint

The other question this poses is, is it really necessary to have a
graphical installer as the default for Lubuntu?

The alternate CD with console-based UI is good enough IMO if it can

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)
Following my tests on a pre-Beta ISO :

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?

Julien and team,
What are the remaining we really need to fix *this* before beta issues
in Lubuntu 11.04?
Issues I know of that might qualify are:
(1) Recent (post-Alpha 3) ISOs do not install from the Install Lubuntu
menu item, it hangs in an X screen.
(2) Lubuntu seems to need more that
