Hi,

as Server Team look after server[1], I'm happy to ask (and help) the
lubuntu-wiki-doc[2] team to edit the entry for alternate[3] and place an
entry in for 13.04 and refer back to help.ubuntu.com for people using pre
13.04 alternate ISO's. This would mean minimal changes to the Desktop
version of help.ubuntu.com

Would this be of help?

Regards,

Phill.
