Modest Spec or Barebones Installation of Ubuntu
If you have a low-spec'ed computer (64 to 128 MB of RAM, less than 1 GHz processor), you may have difficulty with a regular Ubuntu installation. You may, even if you have a higher-spec'ed computer want to create a minimal installation for other reasons. Go to the Ubuntu Minimal CD Image page to get the minimal CD. This guide will help you burn the .iso to CD Note: a high-speed wired internet connection is recommended for a minimal installation.
The rest of this tutorial assumes you're using your entire disk. If you need help with partitioning, post a thread on the Ubuntu Forums.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xorg xterm gdm icewm menu firefox gksu synaptic --no-install-recommends sudo service gdm start
After this minimal install (using Ubuntu 12.04 as an example for these screenshots), the total installation size is a little over 1 GB. Last updated 04/30/12 10:08
