Is it possible to setup Ubuntu Minimal on a device without Ethernet?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have a Chromebook that I would like to install Ubuntu on. I previously had GalliumOS on it, but for several reasons, I choose not to use it. I then installed full Ubuntu on the laptop, leaving only a little more than a gb of free space left on the device.
I finally decided to install Ubuntu Minimal on the Chromebook. I have had experience with Ubuntu Minimal in the past, but never setting it up. However, my Chromebook does not have an Ethernet port on it. I could not download any utilities to connect to WiFi without WiFi.
My question is: is it possible to setup Ubuntu Minimal only using WiFi. If I can not, is there any good very lightweight replacement distributions you recommend? I have previously looked up this answer and got this result
I am not aware of any method to connect to a WPA network only with terminal commands.
While this seems pretty cut and dried, that post was from 2010. Things may have changed.
I have found several similar questions here, but most of them include installing another program. Which requires internet. Thanks for any feedback.

For connecting to wifi using only commands, please look at askubuntu.com/questions/461825/… (yes it is possible to connect to WPA) Minimal installation does not provide all feature support (it's wasn't intended to) so it isn't suitable for all hardware. Light usually refers to low-memory usage, of which Lubuntu & Xubuntu would be lightest (non-Ubuntu are off-topic here).
