Hi all,

my CD burner is not reliable, and i kept having errors trying to install Lucid, so i decided to go for a network install. There was no clear info on this (i thought it would be trivial to use the network instead of the CD to copy files...), and i ended up using the mini.iso for Lucid. Now i've booted on my system, and obviously i don't have the full system.

I've found this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463991) and this is what i'm going to do first, but i would really like to "upgrade" my system to a full, vanilla 64-bit Desktop Lucid.

Any tips?

Thanks a lot!

If memory serves, at some point of the installation you are asked if you want to install additional packages (k/x/ubuntu-desktop ...).

Anyway, just install the ubuntu-desktop package, it depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu desktop system:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
