Re: Lubuntu 12.04 beta test

 

Hi Luigi,

the only one available for you would be the 10.04 release of lubuntu which
we keep alive precisely for that reason. If you can get Ubuntu 12.04
installed, you can then put lubuntu on & get rid of the gnome stuff. But!
the instructions for going 'pure' lubuntu will not be available until a few
days after the final release of 12.04.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Regards,

Phill.
