I think I can test it as well maybe. But do not remember it booting last time I tried.

I would also think reporting a bug on mini.iso is a good idea. I could see usecases if say you had a uefi laptop that is off warranty but with a touchpad that is not the best working condition. With mini.iso and a tiling window manager you could still be productive on this hardware which might be better than other things people using lubuntu have. I also would not want to do something like manual partitioning on a touchpad that I know gets a bit flakey sometimes and that is hard for keyboard only.
