Re: Removing abiword in Synaptic removes "lubuntu-desktop"

 

Hiyas Jean-Pierre,

It is unfortunately a side issue of us using no-install recommends. I do
agree that it is scary for a newcomer. The answer is on the help area. I'm
not sure if the developers could alter the build so it does not occur, as if
they do not use that option lubuntu would become bloated. It is a catch 22
situation.

Julien, would it be possible to include that fact in the intro screen-shots
during an install, so newcomers are aware of it?

Regards,

Phill.
