I'm pretty sure that Xubuntu uses Ubiquity, the same installer that Ubuntu uses. But I've not installed any ubuntu from the livecd in some time (I prefer the debian-installer based alternate cd) so I can not offer any authoritative answers. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 2:17 AM, Charles Ulrich <<a href="mailto:charles@bityard.net">charles@bityard.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Judging from the screenshots here: <a href="http://www.debianadmin.com/fluxbuntu-light-weight-ubuntu-based-linux-distribution-featuring-fluxbox-window-manager.html" target="_blank">http://www.debianadmin.com/fluxbuntu-light-weight-ubuntu-based-linux-distribution-featuring-fluxbox-window-manager.html</a> The Fluxbuntu install procedure looks to be a lot less involved than the Ubuntu installer, thus I'd have to guess that it uses its own. The Ubuntu installer is quite good at not hammering existing permissions without explicit approval. I'm personally a big fan of Xubuntu. It's light enough to run well on most older hardware and best of all it's frighteningly close to vanilla Ubuntu in terms of UI and overall features. It's been awhile since I installed Xubuntu, so I don't remember if it uses Ubuntu's installer or their own, but I remember it being pretty user-friendly.
