Hi guys, i was wondering if you can help me with somthing. I want to create a minimal ubuntu to run under QEMU. Just console stuff, no X or anything, and i want to keep it under 800M. Is there an easy way to do this or what should i do?
nope, I never checked. The alternate iso is 700mb, so it can't be more than that (the CD includes the GUI and extra stuff on it). If bandwidth is an issue, you can use the minimal iso, to just download the packages you'll ultimately need.
