I'm quite new to LinuxLite (have a low spec laptop running Puppy elsewhere) but I have a couple of questions on the install.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I can't see a specific beta forum?
1. When I select "Erase whole disk" and "Use LVM" during install, I get a crash saying I need to check virtual console 4 and then syslog for the reason that the disk partitioner was unable to create the disk layout. I can't see any details there. Fdisk shows me that /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 have been created. This is on vbox with an 8GB disk. Works fine if I do not select LVM (I was going to use LVM so I could resize the virtual disk and change partition sizes later).
Check in /var/log for the error. It could be that it just won't work in a vb but may on hardware.

I suspect it might be 2GB for booting the install from and 5.3GB for a full install, or do you offer the ability to write back to the USB stick al-a Puppy? I'd like to know so I can purchase some USB drives for some diskless laptops that I want to use LinuxLite 2.0 on. Puppy is a little too quirky, and I like how LinuxLite looks more standard.
Congratulations again on what looks like a great release.
The 2GB USB is for the image, 5.3GB is for the installation. Cheers.
