JEOS might not be small enough

I might have to look at other distributions to run on my VM with only 2GB of disk space. I definitely can't use apt-get to install much on the system I built using JEOS from the Ubuntu 8.10 server CD.

I just came across the instructions on the Psychocats web site about installing a minimal version of ubuntu and manually installing the windowing system packages. I'm going to make another attempt at installing bare bones system.

That's the great thing about snapshots in VMWare! I can try this out without losing any work if I want to go back!
