Ah, I had seen a HOWTO on installing it from the full Ubuntu distro -
I've got a pile of 5.10 CDs still even though I've given loads away
:-) However, I don't think it is Xubuntu. Xubuntu uses the Xfce
desktop but this Ubuntulite uses something else. Possibly ICEWm. The
last time I looked there was a dedicated Xubuntu site which is why I
am doubtful about it.
I'll do some more digging. Cheers though :-)
