[09:06] <nsisodiya> hi
[09:07] <nsisodiya> Can we install or ship extra software/package on LiveCD without including in the squasefs
[09:08] <nsisodiya> OR in other words, how i can include Alternate CD type of preceeding  into LiveCD of ubuntu
[09:08] <nsisodiya> If you are unable to understand what i am asking them please tell me, i will try to explain
[09:34] <ev> cjwatson: surely
[10:08] <ev> cjwatson: remind me what your idea for speeding up ubiquity builds was?  Have console-setup as a build-dep of ubiquity, with some magic to depend on the latest version always?
[10:11] <cjwatson> I think what I said was to put the keymapper tree file in the console-setup .deb so that ubiquity doesn't need to build it
[10:11] <cjwatson> and check into whatever else is needed there
[10:11] <cjwatson> and then just have ubiquity depend on it (well, in fact it does already)
[10:12] <ev> ah right, it doesn't need to do anything special with it at build time.  Sorry, not enough tea yet.
[10:12] <ev> cool, adding that to my todo list

[11:55] <jpluscplusm> hey all
[11:56] <jpluscplusm> http://serverfault.com/questions/143296/ubuntu-10-04-desktop-i386-does-not-work-with-http-preseed/144290#144290 seems to suggest that (Lucid) preseed requires the server or alternate ISO
[11:57] <jpluscplusm> does that sound correct and, if so, what class of installer does the Lucid mini.iso fall into?
[11:57] <jpluscplusm> tl;dr: does Lucid's mini.iso support preseed?
[11:59] <cjwatson> jpluscplusm: it's partly correct.  the desktop installer does have some degree of automation facilities, documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation - although d-i (used on the server/alternate images) is inherently more flexible here
[11:59] <cjwatson> jpluscplusm: the mini.iso uses d-i, so you can use full preseeding with it.
[12:34] <jpluscplusm> cjwatson: many thanks; any input on why booting from the mini.iso with "linux auto url=http://IP/path" would cause a panic?
[12:35] <jpluscplusm> panic as per http://jpluscplusm.com/auto-install-failure.png
[12:35] <cjwatson> don't know, sorry
[12:35] <cjwatson> would have to see the text of the error
[12:35] <cjwatson> (but, lunch)
[12:35] <jpluscplusm> :)
[13:00]  * jpluscplusm figures it out: needed the params listed on that serverfault reply except initrd=initrd.gz and interface=auto
