lighten Lite?

[newtusmaximus]

FWIW, I have <Ranted> on this approach several times previously.  Believe the move to DVD  "oversized" LL.  Cutting back to a "superlite" approach with basic browser (e.g. Min ? ) and  the ability to cherry pick add-ons readily available through Lite Software would mean CD could possibly be used instead.  Older laptops not having necessarily DVD writer function. ??

BTW has UBUNTU come to a definite decision re life expectancy  32bit versions.?

Just checked LL Database - "
 Search found 3745 computer configurations with the keyword/s [32 bit]
Click here to view all 7176 computer configurations uploaded to the hardware database to date."

In the absence of an official release, you guys can always spin up a custom distro under Systemback.

I may have some suggestions for you by the end of today. I am currently working on a specific project of my own building an Ubu ISO with specialized EFI boot tools, ntfs tools, certain forensic tools, and virtualization tools, that will allow testing and/or installation from stored ISOs, among several other features. Basically a one time install that will facilitate any future modifications to dual boot systems eliminating grub and efi issues once and for all with enough reach using a virtualized Ubu server to handle multiple domains and an HDD installed  footprint of 30g or less. I have had success with these things from full system but customizing and/or building an ISO is time consuming for my hardware and myself. I drank so much coffee the other day, I had to drink a six pack of beer before trying to sleep.

I would find this helpful too because I have been asked to set up some donated computers for the the library in my congregation's adult lounge. Of course, I will do it using Linux Lite. I don't just want to clone my system because I don't want to include all my passwords, etc. and they won't need as many programs.

This would be the simplest way to do it and avoid having to learn to use a program to get a lightened Linux Lite. If this won't be done soon, suggestions for what program to use for this purpose will be appreciated.

Theoretically yes. I might consider doing this if Ubuntu dropped 32bit support.

Could the LL ISO be lightened (speedier installation, smaller footprint) by including optional LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and Gimp, in Lite Software rather than setting them up during installation, or is this a dependency issue for XFCE desktop? Perhaps a Linux "super" Lite version?
