Ubuntu Lite

[Jani Monoses]

Great, I am glad we can cooperate.

Naturally if we can include icewm/fluxbox as an install time option, I am
all for it.
I know xfce is still not as light as win95/98 and many of the targetted
machines run those legacy OSes quite happily.
My option for xfce was that I use it, and of the lighter environments it
integrates IMHO the best with modern gtk2 apps.
So it would be ok I think (not my decision) to have those alternate wms on
the CD, as about offering install time selection
it needs to be investigated; I know nothing about d-i and what it would take
to do it, but I think it shouldn't be hard.
glad to have you on board
Jani

PS: and yes while I don't use it I think rox-filer would be nice, we
installed it as default with xfce in hoary too.
