I haven't been following the Xubuntu progress of late, but would like to install it on a Dell Latitude D610. Can I initiate a "server" install from the xubuntu install CD, or is there only a default "desktop" option? I'd like to customize the install - my primary reason for installing xubuntu being XFCE.</blockquote><div> sure, there's a server option as in the other ubuntu CDs. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily/20060418.1/dapper-install-i386.iso">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily/20060418.1/dapper-install-i386.iso</a> I can get a copy from someone of flight-6. Any major differences other than OpenOffice.org?</blockquote><div> most of the packages are newer which may be relevant to you especially for the base system depending on how well that laptop is supported. Xfce differences are not that many and the delta is small enough for an upgrade via the net. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-6/dapper-install-i386.iso"> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-6/dapper-install-i386.iso</a> Ideally, is there a more bandwidth frugal method of installing it? for example, a simpler network based install of sorts? </blockquote></div> I don't know of official netinstall images for ubuntu. Instead of the install cd you could try the beta liveCD which is < 400M and has a GUI installer, although being a livecd it will take longer to boot and be slower. Jani
