[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Brendan,

that's a fair point, but under the list via tasksel in mini-iso, I am under
the belief that lubuntu-core has the lowest overhead. We're open to
correction, but that is the basis of mentioning it at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Full_install.2C_minimal_install_or_core_install.3F
which is there to save some one installing a whole load of stuff, and then
having to remove it :)

Regards,

Phill.
