How to install Ubuntu 16.10 without any gui?

I want to start my computer and it should open up to a CLI. I don't want a GUI, no fancy login screen etc.



I need a solution that does not use a minimal ISO because it requires an internet connection. I need an offline installation.

You can install Ubuntu Server. Ubuntu Server 16.10



Just download the ISO file and make a installation USB disk with UltraISO or other tools, and install it on your computer offline.

  • I upvoted your answer because it will work, based on the criteria of the question. In the future, please consider using the comment for your question (Do you mean Ubuntu Server). A proper answer would better be, (Use the Server Install ISO), which doesn't user or install X. X11 can be installed later if needed.

    @L.D.James This gives a solution and is thus an answer, and it would not have been correct to post it as a comment. (When question-like text in an answer seems to cause genuine confusion, you can edit to rectify the problem.) Furthermore, we have a strong community consensus that even if an answer attempt is incomplete or otherwise flawed, that still doesn't make it an appropriate comment. Before telling someone their answer should've been a comment, I recommend consulting these official guidelines.
