You absolutely can automate it, using the same preseeding mechanism found in debian-installer. See the following wiki page for the differences between preseeding ubiquity and preseeding the alternate CD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation And the following guide on preseeding, if you are unfamiliar with that: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html Note that you can use a subset of kickstart with the Ubuntu alternate CD (debian-installer) via kickseed. It's technically possible and relatively easy to include this translation in ubiquity, but it has never been implemented. As for being able to do the install remotely, I do installs over PXE and NFS using the Ubuntu live CD all the time. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
