HOWTO: Install Ubuntu Linux in 2 steps

Posted March 2, 2006 by phil & filed under linux.

With full credit going to The Central West End Linux Users Group (CWE-LUG), here’s a TWO STEP way to install a base Ubuntu Linux on a computer.

For a minimal install using the CD and a kickstart file on the net

insert the Ubuntu 5.10 CD into the CD-ROM, then choose either step 2 or 3
For a minimal/server install, at the boot prompt, type:

server ks=http://cwelug.org/~rwcitek/ubuntu/ks.cfg

Or, for a full/desktop install, replace “server” with “linux”:

linux ks=http://cwelug.org/~rwcitek/ubuntu/ks.cfg

Poking around online I don’t see any other specifics, but since nothing has changed on the Ubuntu installer, this should work. If you look at the lines it starts with ‘install’ and then ‘cdrom’ – so there’s no reference to any Ubuntu version. I’d pop the cd in and give it a try; worst case it won’t work and you’ll have to install manually, but please let me know! Thanks for posting.
