Sure, but isn't the mini iso just netinst by another name ( that also is often confusing in a different way; people seem to think it will give them an install that uses less disk space ). > But while this CD would continue to be available, and we probably > wouldn't spend effort on adding UEFI support to it, it's still not > something that I think we want to point to as a supported install > method for broken-BIOS machines, for the reasons mentioned in my > previous mail. We haven't already added UEFI support to it? That seems like something we really should do. I was proposing forking it in two as it would be easier to maintain and/or require less testing for that than a fork of the regular desktop cd, and whether fully supported or not, would be *something* for people with broken bios to fall back to, and last I heard from Colin, their number was not *that* small that we could throw them overboard. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSzfbzAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwx4UH/30S9i2Y9Fv2+BZ6SCYnFKLf MTbmGqCLcJAsNMHl4Tj0ovv4/elQtlWkn+v2XpH4RCitnZb80QRIsj20VJggV2yI yFI1jy8Ln5uzxJIZHkY64omQPGUpO2bptn4ipRXX7yLR0bNq04CECPkt3g22Oy9A BUE0ZLbFDIYtrqagkL2fTV7nErRUPkSwB3zXw3hG3CJo7K4HcKzaFVxBinlxrYMP Qz0/5h9Uzlqb4xGV0T1PbCPo62tyBkub+Gq6pu1lltPSHFZ4yrG4IcuQs/WYJ/WO 2LMPsvA2mLeew03IqAUmj1N4cAfhNo5f1Oz/gK71vIF9D8j6bXHkBiR/TnyfFzs= =9iP0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
