At work, we generate OS images for our automated SW testing suites. Now that Ubuntu 20.04 is out, we need to get an image of that. Right now we are trying to automate the image creation through Proxmox+Packer+Ansible, but I'm having some trouble finding out how to automate the install for 20.04 desktop. For 18.04 we used the mini iso with a kickstart file, but I don't see a mini iso for 20.04. Is there a way to automate the desktop iso installer?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! However, it looks like the material in the link is for making an automated server install. What we need is an automated desktop install. As in, what a user would have installed at their workstation with the GNOME desktop environment, not on a headless server. Is there a way to automate an Ubuntu 20.04 installation that results in a typical desktop workstation deployment?
