I've read a lot about the "minimal desktop" flavor that will be included in Ubuntu 18.04. What do I need to put it the preseed file to do an unattended install of it?
I assume it's some variation of the existing
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-desktop
(from https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt) but I don't know what the legal choices are.
The available options are documented in the Ubuntu installation guide, section B.4.10 which reads:
You can choose to install any combination of tasks that are available. Available tasks as of this writing include:
However, minimal install is not a d-i key, but an ubiquity one. Add this to the preseed:
ubiquity ubiquity/minimal_install boolean true
(Obtained by reading the Ubiquity source code).
