How to make a minimal upgrade?
- by wajed
I use
apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop
to install minimal desktop.
I want to upgrade my system to the latest version (12.04) with it still being minimal. How do I do that?
What I tried:-
I tried Update Manager, and it gave me the Option to upgrade to 11.10 first, then to 12.04. What happened after I upgraded to 11.10 is that my desktop got bloated, and instead of the system using 500MB of RAM, now it uses about 1.5GB I can't even start apps anymore.
