Hi James,

the release team had promised to keep PPC alive as it is part of the server
system that is still supported. As a very basic explain, there is PPC
server which will be supported and developed for IBM servers etc. When all
the other flavours agreed to drop 'alternate' installer, it was queried as
to why lubuntu wished to continue as there would be no on-going support. I
replied back that "So, you're dropping server install for ubuntu".... after
a short intake of breath, lubuntu were told that alternate ISO would still
carry on. If you need a 'mini iso' / 'network' installer, then the answer
is yes. [1]

Regards,

Phill.
