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!!

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!

By "minimal 16.04 HTTP minimal installs" do
you mean ala:
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
Can I avoid installing gnome doing it this way
(above)?
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.
