I've come across similar, already answered questions on this website; however none of them deals with starting from the scratch - the Ubuntu core.



The normal release of 12.04 was not responding well on my old PC.
Thus, I decided to install "Non-PAE Ubuntu core using" mini.iso.



Now, I am having the Ubuntu core installed which swiftly boots into the terminal CLI.
However I want to install a GUI onto this.



I don't want to do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop since that comes with Unity, which I hate like anything.



There are ways to install Mate and Cinnamon available here, however they are valid only if some other GUI is already present. But, I want to install them when no GUI is initially present - right from the core.



In a nutshell: I am looking how to install "Cinnamon" right from the scratch
(Ubuntu Core CLI), so that the system directly boots into cinnamon login screen.



On my other system I would also like to do the same but use Mate instead of Cinnamon.
