It would be very useful to provide more information about it, as it
seems to affect more people and more configuratiosn than I though.

It's currently not supported. How do you find to this screen using the
installer ?

It should not happen if you don't do anything like plug in a new media.
Is it reproducible ? Are you using a USB stick or a live CD ?

Yes, sometime it doesn't work, but it's safe to just reboot by hand.

Thanks, we have great artists around here ;-)

That would be nice to have a test case, when it's always reproducible. I
can't currently reproduce it.

Seems a bug yes, but only a display bug. Is the network working for you ?

It's not installed on Ubuntu also, and I'm not sure it's working nicely
with lxdm.

> b- *dnsmasq *(http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31326

dnsmasq-base, which contains the dnsmasq program is installed by
default, its should be sufficient in this case.

> c- *GParted*
This one is for advanced usages, an average user should not have to
touch the partitions after the installation. Ubuntu do the same thing.
You can still install it after the installation.

> d- *Flash Player*
Proprietary software, we can't include it by default.

Please report the bugs directly under the LSC project :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lubuntu-software-center
The problem of the search box should be fixed in the last revision.

Some pcmanfm crashes have been identified, but ususally you should just
let apport reporting bugs.

It's the themes by default for the theme engine, we can't currently
removed them. But it's not a problem of space, because themes here are
only text files (for configuration).
