[00:18] <xnox> realtime-neil: I am confused what you mean. 18.04.5 live server does not support autoinstall.
[00:19] <xnox> realtime-neil: you can use d-i preseed with the just "-server-" which is d-i based.
[00:19] <realtime-neil> xnox: 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-neil> ah, okay
[00:20] <xnox> But it's different iso, different installer, different preseed format
[00:21] <realtime-neil> xnox: 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] <xnox> And the installs it produces will look different from live-server ones.
[00:22] <xnox> Everyone is kind of locked for point releases now. As wee have focal, bionic, and Xenial to spin up and ship now.
[00:22] <xnox> Re
[00:22] <xnox> Sounds about right with file=...
[00:23] <realtime-neil> I won't be able to serve this one, but at least I'll have an `*.iso` that I can burn to disk and USB sticks
[20:44] <realtime-neil> Does 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."
[20:45] <realtime-neil> I'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 ---"
