[Lubuntu-comms] installing Lubuntu in less than 100 seconds

[Stephen Smally]

Hi guys, i haven't wrote on this list for a while (now i have much more 
to do, including school), but i do like the "simplest as possible" 
installer, i think is a good idea.

Also, we don't have to make lubuntu the most used os in the world (at 
least, i don't feel like it should be) so please don't think about it as 
the ultimate os for everyone. People have different needs and lubuntu 
can't satisfy all of them.

And remember that the lubuntu community is made up of volunteers, on 
this list everyone can state is opinion, but if an idea seems good it 
should be followed, even if a little part of the community doesn't agree.

Regards,
Stefano
