[Lubuntu-qa] [Suggestion] Having another version for Lubuntu (Mini Lubuntu)

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Ali,

this is mentioned on our Minimal Install page.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall where
have 'desktop install' (the normal one), and 'core install' (very stripped
down).

Regards,

Phill.
