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

[Phill Whiteside]

>> snip

I installed a system from a USB 3 pendrive to a USB 3 HDD in less than 1
minute and 40 seconds (including answering those questions). Here are
the computer specs.

<< snip

I do have to question how many XP machines running on 128 Mb of RAM have
USB 3? I have a machine designed for Win 7 and it does not have USB 3 [1]

Just my thoughts.

Regards,

Phill.

P.S. please do add your machines to that list, it makes it really easy to
quote the specs on a bug report.
