Hi Nio and Israel,

I tried an install beginning with the Precise mini.iso and firstly ran
into (inside VM where I do my testing currently) the problem where the
mini.iso install hangs on 'Install Syatem' step...I found that this was a
documented problem and the mini.iso that does install okay has to come
from 'Precise-Updates'  link below...

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/

...I tried to get jwm working using the ppa method but never got past
logging in which seemed to always stick on a black screen after typing my
password...

I'm sure when you get the chance to respond to Nio's questions all will be
revealed...

Cheers, JackT.
