[lubuntu-devel] Some stuff I learnt whilst installing lubuntu 15.10 64 bit desktop image

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Ian,

so glad it worked, I fought a battle to keep the alternate images and still
vehemently defend their existence! Our boss has agreed to keep them for as
long as he can keep them CD sized. You will find the links to alternate on
our getlubuntu [1] page, as option #8, just above the roll your sleeves up
and get really messy option #9 :)

I'm a 'server' type of guy, so pretty pictures while installing are not
really to my taste, although I do defend any person's right to have them!

Regards,

Phill.
