As Jaeic says, removing metapackages is harmless, they are hollow and empty
and o not remove the packages they install so are fine to remove, this is
the same with any metapackage

Hi,

any issues with updates / upgrading?

Well, if an application is added as default in the future update of Lubuntu,
it won't be installed without the meta-package. (Although I'm not certain in
the case of distribution upgrade)
Other than that though, there shouldn't be any issues with updating
individual packages.

Updates will be fine, the upgrade process expects (as far a I know) there to
be a desktop metapackage to use as a reference so may be needed when
maverick comes out. Otherwise its absolutely fine.
i personally instal ubuntu-restricted extras then remove it as well as the
stupid flash plugin it

Hi Phill,
Sorry this took so long! I'm happy to report that doing the install
with the 64-bit Mini CD worked just fine. I haven't had time to try
everything, of course, but I've found zero problems so far.
Just one note on the install instruction; one step is to do a sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade.
Hi Bob,
thanks for getting back, you are still the first one to confirm it works.
The apt-get dist-upgrade could well be a bit of over-kill, but I'd rather it
spend a few moments working out all is well in the world than miss it out
and find out it is needed in certain circumstances :-)
What,
