Welcome,

My problem appeared today - I was using Xubuntu for a long time, but find out that LXDE should be faster than Xfce, so I installed it.

After installing I followed tutorial for removing Xfce, cause disk in my computer is very small and I wanted to release some free space.

I used command from this tutorial:

How to remove xubuntu-desktop?

but instead of remove I entered purge command… and rebooted at the end.

And I uninstalled whole my things. The problem is in installing system again - it's old Sony Vaio laptop (PCG-GR250) and I have broken CD-DVD drive. It's possible to boot from USB? I can access recovery mode, will this help me?

Please answer fast, because it's my brother computer, and his going to kill me if I won't fix this fast :(
