Hi All, Overcame the need for an Alternate Install, by booting into the TryMe mode of Trusty desktop, and Ctrl-Alt-F1'ing to a terminal and executing the fdisk etc. that I wanted to in the first place. Noticed that Ubuntu 10.4 (?) wouldn't let the user back into the GUI by Ctrl-Alt-F7'ing, but that Trusty does once again. Good. Never discovered any non-cosmetic differences between terminal switching and opening a terminal window within the GUI. Carl Bayswater On 22/04/14 12:08, Trent W. Buck wrote:

Are Ubuntu still making Alternate Install CDs for their new releases?
Doesn't look like it:
$ rsync --no-motd mirror.internode.on.net::ubuntu/releases/14.04/*.iso lrwxrwxrwx 39 2014/04/18 00:56:28 ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso lrwxrwxrwx 38 2014/04/18 00:57:06 ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso lrwxrwxrwx 38 2014/04/18 00:58:30 ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64.iso lrwxrwxrwx 37 2014/04/18 00:58:54 ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.iso
The key difference is it runs debian-installer instead of ubiquity. You can find minimal d-i images here

You can build your own alternate CDs using jigdo, but I don't know much about that.
