'''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
}}}

== Other Ideas ==
