I certainly think this can serve as a good preview while an ISO is pending.

Thanks for taking the time to do this! :)

For building an ISO like you are doing, I usually don't recommend using
the Lubuntu development PPA as packages like to break sometimes. ;)

You can use apt instead of apt-get. :)

Ditto apt vs. apt-get.

Ditto apt vs. apt-get.

lubuntu-restricted-extras works fine without pulling in extra Lubuntu
packages.

You should look at the depends of the lxqt and lxqt-core metapackages.
*Installing it currently bricks a system's networking, so don't use it
yet* , but it should serve as a good preview of what packages are in the
base install.

It has some applications in there, but we have a blueprint on
Launchpad[1] that has our current discussions for default applications.
Feel free to provide feedback. :)

Ditto apt vs. apt-get.

Really nice work so far, thank you!

If you want, hop on the #lubuntu-devel channel on freenode IRC (Graham
linked a client) so I can talk with you a little more about this image. :)
