Hello everyone I'm looking for a nice way to set up Ubuntu Desktop on Notebooks for our Company.
Till now we've been using Fedora and automated installation over PXE with Cobbler and Kickstart. We want encryption for /home /tmp /swap. We used full disk encryption with LVM an luks/cryptsetup. Fedora uses Anaconda and Kickstart files that make it easy to automate the full installation process, including disk encryption, package installation and post-scripts. We're using a custom firstboot script to set up the user and add his password to cryptsetup. I was looking for ways to integrate Ubuntu Desktop Staging into our existing Cobbler PXE Setup (on CentOS) but I could only find fragments and not much on 12.04. A lot of the information is incomplete or outdated (11.10 or earlier) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot http://michaeldehaan.net/post/39496835943/experiences-with-cobbler-deploying-ubuntu-precise Does Ubuntu save the answers / preseed file when installing manually? Couldn't find the information on the installed system or during installation. Fedora generates a kickstart file you can then reuse to set up other systems. What do you use/recommend for desktop installation? It would be great if some more detailed information could be found on the Enterprise Ubuntu Wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Enterprise/Needs Our needs: - Fully automated - Network Boot (PXE) - Integration in current Cobbler Setup - Encrypted Disk - Custom package selection - Script to set up printers etc. - Firstboot User setup (OEM-Install option?)
