<div>In the section 'Get Lubuntu' [1] we do actively encourage
people with low resource computers to use the Alternate install.
The alternate install does not require usage of terminal and is
akin to a GUI (Slide Show) install but without the 'pretty
pictures'.</div>

Answer : An OFF-button & a note.<br>
<br>
It took me a lot of googling to figure out why lubuntu
wasn't installing<br>
in my machine ( AMD 2400+ ) and it turned out I had to
disable slideshow<br>
And it's worked fine after I did that. -Tracey<br>

Since a lot of people gravitate toward Lubuntu because their
machines are not capable of running Ubuntu and Kubuntu well
(because of lack of memory, and/or processor speed), I think
it would be a good idea to have an option of not doing the
slide show.<br>
<br>
Perhaps, even better, would be for the installer to see if
there is enough memory available to run it, and not load it
in if there wasn't, substituting a single picture (possibly
the last slide of the show).<br>
<br>
But if it couldn't be done by the installer itself, at least
giving the user the option of skipping it if their machine
doesn't have a lot of memory would be a good idea.<br>
<br>
I worry that whether the slide-show is done or not, it
occupies space in the installer, so the slide show would
have to be something that is loaded by the installer if the
slide-show is selected. This worry is supported by the fact
to disable the slide-show, I had to actually remove the
slide-show package.<br>
<br>
In the live CD version, that slide-show is using-up memory
space even by its existence in the RAM file-system.<span

I agree that the alternate install can be used, and does work, and I
use it for machines with 512 megabytes of RAM (which <u>used</u> to
be sufficient for installing any of the 'flavors' of Ubuntu). <br>
<br>
The problem is, it is prudent to try-out the new system before
installing it, and I must download the live CD system to do that,
which also used to be all that was needed to install it. <br>
<br>
But now, I have to download another CD (not all of us have fast
Internet speeds) to do the actual install. <br>
<br>
To me, it would be more friendly to the users, to be able to install
from what we already downloaded - even without the pretty pictures
(admittedly informative), than to require us to download yet another
CD when we decide to install. <br>
