I would like to set up a minimal command-line system as a starting point for a custom desktop, as outlined in Installation/LowMemorySystems guide. What exact choice of the installation image do I have here?

I am going with the latest LTS, which, at time of this writing, is 14.04 LTS.

I am aware of two:

What makes me think of other options is the phrasing in the Installation/LowMemorySystems guide:

To install a base system, boot from any Alternate CD and choose "Install a command-line system." It is exactly the same command-line system on Lubuntu Alternate CDs.

The words 'any' Alternate CD and 'exactly the same' ... 'on Lubuntu' suggest that there are other Alternate CD's, but I cannot find them.

To install a base system, boot from any Alternate CD and choose "Install a command-line system." It is exactly the same command-line system on Lubuntu Alternate CDs.

I read it like this: "It is exactly the same command-line system across all Lubuntu alternate CDs".

(mind the plural in "CDs")

With "any Alternate CD" is referring to any of the Lubuntu Alternate CDs.

If there were multiple "other" Alternate CDs and only one Lubuntu Alternate CD it would have been: "To install a base system, boot from any Alternate CD and choose "Install a command-line system." It is exactly the same command-line system on Lubuntu Alternate CD".

(mind the singular in "CD")
