Installing from mini.iso is more user-friendly, IMHO. – N0rbert Jul 20 '20 at 05:47

For Base install details see https://askubuntu.com/questions/67001/what-commands-are-needed-to-install-ubuntu-core – C.S.Cameron Jul 20 '20 at 06:50

2I totally agree that mini.iso is easier and thats what I have been using. But, as mini.iso is now officially considered legacy, I thought i'd try out Base and learn a little. – Martin Nilsson Jul 20 '20 at 13:33

The guide is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Base
- WARNING: Ubuntu Base is NOT a normal, user-friendly, easy-to-install form of Ubuntu. Unskilled users should stick to the normal installers. If you don't understand the requirements or procedure below, then Ubuntu Base is probably the wrong choice for you.
Deploying Base Requirements
- Ubuntu Base rootfs
- Linux kernel for target device
- Boot-loader for target device
Procedure:
- Format target media: at least one partition should be ext2, ext3, or ext4
- Unpack Ubuntu Base to ext{2,3,4} partition
- Install boot-loader
- Install Linux
- Add a local user and password for the user, then add the user to the adm and sudo groups
- If the Linux kernel requires modules, add these to /lib/modules/$(uname -r) in the ext{2,3,4} file system
- Boot the target device
- Install any additional required software using apt-get
