Hi Jack,

1. I made a working mini (text only) system from the Ubuntu 12.04
mini.iso from precise-updates (non-pae) in my IBM Thinkpad with Pentium M.

This iso file works not only from CD but also from USB (via mkusb) which
was not the case in the beginning of 12.04, when the original mini.iso
worked only from CD. So it is really an improved mini.iso :-)

Hi Israel,

Thanks for the long list. I will try according to it, but won't finish
tonight. It's getting late in Europe :-)

Good night
Nio
