[lubuntu-devel] Some stuff I learnt whilst installing lubuntu 15.10 64 bit desktop image

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Ian,

thanks for the feedback. Can you say which install ISO you used? I'
surmising one of the two alternate ones if you put it onto a CD.

Wiping the HDD is not needed, the installer will happily do that for you :P
(one of the complaints when some one says "YES, I'd like you to delete
everything on my HDD" and then realise a couple of minutes later just what
they asked the installer to do :) )

1GB RAM and that processor should not cause any issues for install.

Regards,

Phill.
