I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I was wondering if there was a way that works to get rid of the GUI interface on my system. I do not want information on how to boot into CLI version on startup. If it comes to it, I'll heed downloading another operating system or one over my own. If I need to download another operating system, only have it be under 700MB because I need them on CDs, because I only have a CD-ROM drive. I have tried Ubuntu Server by downloading it with an Ubuntu Mini ISO, but to no avail. I only have a 32-bit system.



All help is appreciated!
