| * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=271789 - I wrote this HOWTO, I suppose it relates to this. If anyone would be so kind as to "port" it to this wiki on a similar page, or perhaps do something else smart with it... That would be excellent I suppose. |
How to install an Ubuntu-Desktop on low memory systems (Pentium II and III Processor, 32-256 MB RAM)
Install the Server version (no graphics)
To install a base system, once you have booted from the install cd, type:
server
and hit enter.
Install a Lightweight System
A good way to install a lightweight (graphical) system is to do a server install (see the above section) and then install some minimal lightweight components.
Some examples are:
sudo apt-get install gdm x-window-system-core xterm icewm menu mozilla-firefox abiword synaptic
or
sudo apt-get install wdm x-window-system-core xfce4 mozilla-firefox synaptic
or even
sudo apt-get install fluxbox x-window-system-core xdm dillo synaptic
