[lubuntu-users] Lubuntu-users Digest, Vol 54, Issue 1

Fri Jun 3 02:47:04 UTC 2016

Hi Kent,

There are the Ubuntu mini.iso files and the Ubuntu Server iso files

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

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server

You can install any of the Ubuntu family flavours (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, ... 
Xubuntu) from these iso files, and they are within CD size.

Best regards
Nio
