Ubuntu and other derivatives provide minimal install from the iso. This is an attempt to install minimal-unity from netboot cd.
Partitioning & Installation
After booting netboot iso from usb, choose manual partitioning and then choose one root (/) and one swap partition. Then follow the on-screen guide. When you reach this screen do not select anything and complete the installation. After reboot you will boot into tty.
