The ubuntu documentation gives instructions on how to install lubuntu minimal.
Is there any documentation on Adding Persistence to a Lubuntu Minimal "Live" USB Drive? Just like this for Kali Linux?
When I go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/ I don't find mini.iso in the path installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ - where is it located nowadays?
This might be just one time observation but minimal installation took more time than the normal installation. Then I looked at the logs while installation, and observed that some software packages like libreoffice,Thunderbird, Transmission ... are being removed. So my question is
Does ubuntu-desktop minimal installation just installs all packages that the normal installation installs and then removes some?
If yes, why? why install them in the first place?
EDIT
Just to be clear:
"Minimal installation" is a new option in the Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop installer, not to be confused with the minimal ISO (see tag "ubuntu-minimal")
When I installed Ubuntu 19.10, I chose the "Minimal Installation" option. I figured that the default programs (that are regularly installed with Ubuntu) would be accessible from some meta-package afterwards, but I have yet to find it.
Is there such a meta-package or other way to install the default Ubuntu 19.10 programs without re-installing whole system?
Upon installing Ubuntu, I get to choose what more to install, but what's the difference between:
Lubuntu minimal installation
Lubuntu desktop
Lubuntu minimal installation GTK part
Lubuntu desktop GTK part
Lubuntu minimal installation Qt part
Lubuntu desktop Qt part
I guess those in bold isn't desktop environment. But, what's Qt, GTK?
I'm going to run a server, who demanded a web browser, (to verify stuff against other servers) but otherwise I'm just after a quick and lightweight system (I ran this server precious on Ubuntu mini, but Facebook required the browser for verifications (got id-challenged 13 times during the last 48hours so I'm giving up on pure terminal system.)
I'm aware that's there's some questions about this already, but they have a few years on then, things do evolve..
