Download the Alternate install of Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 to a CD. Then start the system with that CD, select F4 for modes, and select command line install then proceed with the install and answer all the questions (do a normal install with that CD). It won’t install any graphical stuff even though you think it will.
- $sudo apt-get update
- $sudo apt-get upgrade
Now choose option 1 or option 2 but not both (I like xvt better than mrxvt):
- $sudo
aptitude -y install xserver-xorg-core xinit menu menu-xdg jwm fluxbox alsa-utils mrxvt gdebi-core synaptic logrotate localepurge - $sudo apt-get install xorg xterm wdm icewm menu epiphany-browser –no-install-recommends
now you can do ‘sudo service wdm start’ or ‘sudo service gdm start’ or ‘startx’
