Bug Description

All Lubuntu 14.04.3 i386 iso files for old computers are oversized or CD disks. Even the alternate iso file is oversized, which is very bad. There will be problems to install 14.04.3 via a standard 700 MB CD disk (the limit is actually 703 Mibibytes).

There appears to be no Alternate.

All desktop images require DVD / USB. Alternate images are maintained at CD size. The extra stuff Ubiquity has simply pushes the image oversize.
