tomreynubottu: !minimal08:24
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD08:24
tomreyni don't remember how to make ubottu tell us, so here's a copy and paste from ubottu.com for !minimal: Added by LjL (Date: 2006-12-15 03:19:53), Last edited by IdleOne (Date: 2013-05-23 20:33:55), Requested 2606 times08:34

ubottuBut 'minimal' already means something else!08:40

ubottuI'll remember that, tomreyn08:42
tomreynmerci beaucoup08:42
JackFrostSad to see it go.08:42
tomreynit was handy08:43
JackFrostVery, now you have to boot something live, partition, debootstrap, and do the whole setup manually. :(08:43
tomreynor hope i did not lie when i copyied the claims that the 'new' server installer covers all of mini.iso's use cases08:44
JackFrostI had it in pxe, the small size would be viable there.08:45
JackFrostBut yeah that should mostly cover it.08:45
tomreynoh in ipxe, on the firmware?08:45
JackFrostNo, I have a PXE server set up so I have multiple boot options.08:46
tomreyni see, i guess this can work with the new one, too08:46
JackFrosttftp, nooooo.08:52
tomreyn:)08:52
tomreynthe uefi defines http boot, which some of the implementations haven't disabled, yet. it's convenient to use, and feels like it should not exist.08:55
tomreyn(just because no implementation will ever get it right, and secure)08:55
tomreynanyways, i'm pretty much OT08:56
JackFrostWe went a bit, yeah. :)08:56
