xnoxrealtime-neil: I am confused what you mean. 18.04.5 live server does not support autoinstall.00:18
xnoxrealtime-neil: you can use d-i preseed with the just "-server-" which is d-i based.00:19
realtime-neilxnox: I think I mean I want to preseed something Bionic-flavored, but I'm not sure which iso or where to inject the preseed.cfg.00:19
realtime-neilah, okay00:19
xnoxBut it's different iso, different installer, different preseed format00:20
realtime-neilxnox: I'm working through it now; most of netboot preseed things are working with it if I dump them at the top of the iso contents and append "file=/cdrom/preseed.cfg"00:21
xnoxAnd the installs it produces will look different from live-server ones.00:21
xnoxEveryone is kind of locked for point releases now. As wee have focal, bionic, and Xenial to spin up and ship now.00:22
xnoxRe00:22
xnoxSounds about right with file=...00:22
realtime-neilI won't be able to serve this one, but at least I'll have an `*.iso` that I can burn to disk and USB sticks00:23
realtime-neilDoes anyone know what this might indicate? "Unable to install busybox-initramfs. An error was returned while trying to install the busybox-initramfs package onto the target system."20:44
realtime-neilI'm seeing it with a ubuntu-18.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso into which I've installed a preseed.cfg and changed the `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` to use kernel params "auto=true DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer file=/cdrom/preseed.cfg hostname=unassigned interface=auto ---"20:45
