Lubuntu Desktop

[Phill Whiteside]

Julien

it was your good self who told me that I needed python-software-properties
back in the days of about 10.04 :)

The minimal pages are at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#A10.04_32_Bit

<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#A10.04_32_Bit>Oh,
happy days... when we flew by the seat of our pants and tried to get a set
of instructions up for each release - warts and all!

As I will most likely not be here for 12,04 - I'm trying to get some feel
of what docs need updating for the new release. The minor edits can be done
as we go, but 12.04 needs to start having a future foot-print in for the
day of the release.

Regards,

Phill.
