| twb | Hi. When pxebooting Gutsy's d-i, using dnsmasq for DHCP, DNS and TFTP, I get "Continue without a default route?" right at the start of the install, after trying to configure via DHCP. | 07:38 |
|---|---|---|
| twb | This didn't happen last time I set up dnsmasq, what could I have done different this time? | 07:39 |
| mshadle | ahhh excellent! | 12:04 |
| mshadle | im trying to use kickstart | 12:05 |
| twb | Oops, I forgot to say I isolated the fault | 12:05 |
| twb | It was vmware being a dick and running a second dhcpd on the network. | 12:05 |

| mshadle | how do i make kickstart just install ubuntu server items | 20:02 |
| cjwatson | mshadle: have you read the documentation in the installation guide (and the Red Hat documentation to which it refers)? You should be able to use %packages to specify just the packages you want. | 20:18 |
| cjwatson | mshadle: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html | 20:18 |
| mshadle | yeah ive been looking at that | 20:27 |
| mshadle | i mean i could try manually building a list | 20:27 |
| mshadle | but shouldnt i be able to do like | 20:27 |
| mshadle | @ base-install | 20:28 |
| mshadle | @ ssh-server | 20:28 |
| mshadle | maybe just a couple virtual packages, instead of trying to build a list of everything on the CD that i actually want | 20:28 |
| mshadle | if i leave it out, it still installs desktop | 20:29 |
| mshadle | even with a preseed file from ubuntu server | 20:29 |
| mshadle | i really did try finding examples and looking at the docs :) | 20:30 |
| mshadle | and ive made a centos kickstart cd before | 20:31 |
| mshadle | they have the virtual package examples though | 20:31 |
| mshadle | it'd be neat if there was some way to build the package list and see what your %packages lines translate to | 20:33 |
| mshadle | i dont know if the system-config-kickstart does that but i do not run x11 | 20:33 |
| mshadle | does the server install cd support kickstart? :p | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | mshadle: (a) you don't need to list dependencies manually (b) you can certainly use tasks | 21:38 |
| cjwatson | mshadle: the base system is installed automatically, and you can use @ standard (or @ ubuntu-standard in earlier releases, IIRC) to get the standard system | 21:38 |
| cjwatson | mshadle: yes, the server install CD supports Kickstart | 21:39 |
| cjwatson | if a preseed file from the server edition installs the desktop, you're doing it wrong :-) | 21:39 |
| cjwatson | actually, I suppose not necessarily if you're installing from the network | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | anyway, putting just '@ standard' in %packages should suppress the desktop installation, and you can build on that | 21:40 |
