I'm about to sell an old computer and I want to put a fresh copy of Ubuntu on it for the buyer to use. I don't want to configure a user name and password--I want to leave that process to the buyer, similar to the experience of (for example) buying a new Apple computer, where it asks for a user name and password on first boot after the OS is already installed.

How do I do that?

You could try the OEM Manufacturers Install on the Alternate CD or Live CD.Just select the F4 key and Install.

Good Luck
