for some like Ubuntu Server this can be more of a problem than others, but I was able to use hardware as old as from 2005 with multiple goes, but it was faster/easier on newer hardware. though it may take more than a single install if using older equipment due to snap daemon & other potential consequences if the media check is slowed by older hardware. better for offline installs) are noticeably larger.ĭVD media can still be used for 22.04, 22.10 though. all Lubuntu's will fit on a single-layer DVD as the largest ISO currently is mantic which is ~3GB in size it's not alone in fitting though on single layer, but any ISOs that include ( optional) 3rd party video drivers on the media ( instead of downloading them from the internet, ie.

Ubuntu Desktop now requires a dual layer DVD with larger capacity, 4.7GB per layerso single layer has only ~4.7GB but dual 8.5GB (double less overhead).

You didn't specify what Ubuntu 22.04 LTS product, but Ubuntu 22.04 LTS was the last release that was intended to be used for installing systems from optical media (DVD etc), later releases assume FLASH/USB media.Ĭhanges started with groovy (20.10) that caused problems, especially on older equipment ( scan of media that is very slow on optical media, the timeouts that can occur being misinterpreted by some programs as other problems) though it's still possible on newer/faster equipment.
