[10:57] can anyone help with preseeding with oem-config? Question 266541 on ubiquity launchpad. [11:13] I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is recommended [11:18] install ubuntu precise server amd64 in oem-mode, install software, run oem-config-prepare, add preseed.cfg to initrd so that keyboard is not prompted user is not prompted and software is installed from hard drive on first boot , reboot, manually add automatic-oem-config and debug-oem-config to command line, preseeding doesn't appear to work [11:20] can anyone advise the format required for the preseed.cfg file? I've seen lines starting with oem-config, ubiquity and d-i. I've tried all three and can't get the preseed.cfg to work. [16:09] hey everyone - i'm trying to reverse engineer the ubuntu installation process because ubiquity doesn't support my desired installation scheme [16:10] my initial pass at this used debootstrap to install into a chroot environment, mounted the various special file systems, and called "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to complete the install [16:10] however there are a few bugs in the resulting installation, so I'd like to get a clearer picture of what the official installer does behind the scenes [16:11] is this the right place to ask questions? [16:32] ah never mind - i'm going to install ubuntu desktop to usb flash drive instead, and then copy that to my encrypted zfs pool
