I am building a new workstation and I really, Really, REALLY want to fire it up with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Trinity R14.0.3.
Ref: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/LiveCDs , has anyone built a Live CD for Xenial yet? Or, is a Live CD under construction? Or, has anyone installed installed TDE 14.0.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 yet and could/would share their experiences if I run into "challenges" during a raw install?
I don't believe I've seen any chatter about Ubuntu 16.04 on this list. And, I really do not want to start out 2-years old with Ubuntu 14.04. "Inertia" usually prevents me from upgrading releases once I have a solid linux workstaion humming along. Hell, my primary workstation is $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS" ... with TDE 3.5.13.3
Thanks for reading this, and thanks for TDE!! Jonesy

I did minimal 16.04 HTTP minimal installs on two 64 bit machines, then added 14.03. I recall no trouble with either.

By "minimal 16.04 HTTP minimal installs" do you mean ala:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ?
Can I avoid installing gnome doing it this way (above)?
Thank you for your quick reply! Jonesy

Technically no, but as a practical matter yes. All my machines are multiboot, so I download only the installation kernel and initrd that those isos contain, then load them with Grub. From there on it's essentially the same road as using such a CD. Doing it my way I find it easier to provide specific installation options that I might or might not remember that I want to use. e.g.:
vga=791 -- hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false netcfg/disable_dhcp=true expert biosdevname=0 ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0 tasks="standard" base-installer/install-recommends=false video=1024x768@60 hostname=myhost

AFAICT, you can avoid _everything_ related to or depending on Xorg, and a lot more.
Thank you for your quick reply!
Broke house A/C kept me busy off puter until a short time ago.
