Fwd: Xubuntu Take-Over

[Phill Whiteside]

hi AFJ,

Depending on how familiar you are with installer systems, have a read of
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall I'm
not sure if xubuntu offer the same option. For minimal browser, our
un-official minimal browser is mentioned on there.

Do please explain more fully what you seek.

Regards,

Phill.
