[11:22] <frechdachs69> Q: how do I provide network configuration within a preseed file for Ubiquity (booting from a 16.04 desktop ISO) ?
[12:46] <frechdachs69> any idea how to get the address of the server that has provided the preseed configuration (when using 'url=...')? or whether that 'url' parameter is stored somewhere so that I can access it within the 'success_command'?
[13:47] <frechdachs69> any way to tell Ubiquity what desktop to install (e.g. 'kubuntu-desktop' instead of default)? or other packages?
[21:10] <cyphermox> frechdachs69: all of these are possible, to some degree yeah
[21:11] <cyphermox> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt
[21:13] <cyphermox> if you look there; the netcfg lines are what you use to configure network
[21:15] <cyphermox> as for picking the packages you want, look at the pkgsel lines in the same example: pkgsel/include can let you install single packages, or tasksel/first ; so if you wanted kubuntu-desktop you could mention exactly that to install
