Ubuntu and other derivatives provide minimal install from the iso. This is an attempt to install minimal-unity from [[http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ | 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.

{OK} We are not going to cover step by step of entire installation here. For that look elsewhere.


== Disable Recommends ==

Login in tty.

From the console run:
{{{#!highlight bash

    cd /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
    sudo touch 99local
    sudo nano 99local
}}}

Type in the following:
{{{#!highlight ini

    APT::Install-Recommends "0";
    APT::Install-Suggests "0";
}}}

Save and quit nano – '''CTRL+O''', '''CTRL+X'''
