I understand Ubuntu wants to push it's container framework. But what you're saying is that every Ubuntu server installation will have iscsi, libvirt, lxd, dnsmasq, and all of their dependencies by default. Not the best strategy. Perhaps a check box in tasksel for "Containers" would have been more wise.
What is the alternative method to perform a minimal install, especially on UEFI platforms? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563026 Title: LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: When performing a new installation of Ubuntu server 16.04 Beta 2, LXC and LXD are included in the default packages even when "Virtual Server" is not selected as an installation task. This brings in all of the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is not the best default behavior to have. When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
