Hi,

The Lubuntu alternate iso files seem broken right now. I wanted to check
alternatives to install into computers with low RAM, so I downloaded the
corresponding mini.iso (i386 with the 3.16 kernel) via

http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/trusty/

made a minimal installation, rebooted and installed lubuntu-desktop. The
network behaved properly after I tweaked it according to

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Unmanaged_Wired_Network

I think this is a working method to get Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS into old
computers, but lsb_release -a still 'says 14.04.1'.

Best regards
Nio
