I want to do a clean install of Ubuntu. I have an 8.04 Alternate CD and a 9.04 Minimal CD. I want to install the full version and I'd rather not use another CD. If necessary, I could install with the 8.04 CD and upgrade, but is it possible to do a full install with the Minimal CD?
Yes, you can install using the minimal CD.The minimal CD just downloads packages from online archives at installation time rather than providing them on the install CD itself.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Success. Thank you.
