I've been using the MinimalCD images[0] to install Ubuntu for years. (They are the minimum you need to boot, and they download everything else to install Ubuntu.) I'm guessing that these aren't what's being talked about.

- KayEss 9y agoI'd been doing the same thing for a long time (loved how fast it was compared to the normal installer, especially in a VM), but the last install I did was with debootstrap straight onto the target disk from another running machine. A bit of a learning curve the first time, but I think I'll try it again next time.
