Greetings
I've been trying to automate a desktop install using kickstart but after many failures I had a look inside the initrd file on the iso image and compared it to the ubuntu-server version and they are totally different. As far as I can see there is no kickstart support in the desktop version.
Can someone confirm this is true and if so what changes are going to be made to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility to indicate that is is no longer supported with Casper?
My preference for these desktops is a very slim one - Lubuntu or something very similar. Presumably I can simulate the install by using ubuntu-server and then install @lubuntu-core and @lubuntu-desktop but it would be nice if these issues were documented (and it would have saved me 4 days work!!).
Cheers
