An Idea for an easier Install

[Markus Voelker]

Hello everyone,

first of all: Im not a native speaker, I'm german, so please pardon my
bad grammar. :-)

Today I installed ubuntu and while waiting for the installation I had an
idea, I would like to share with you.

Debian has a nice small net-install image (Just 60M AFAIR).
I thought of a net-install-ubuntu-CD.
And with this CD you could create a link to k/x/ed/server-/ubuntu.

I imagine a Install like this:
- select language
- select which k/x/ed/server-/ ubuntu you want to have
- (Maybe also select the version... Dapper or Edgy)
- with this information the installer creates a sources.list
- connect to the I-Net
- get all basic-packages
- install the meta-packet for the Desktop (or not, if server is
selected)
- than go on with the "normal" things, like username, password, time and
so on

The only problem I discovered, is that the ubuntu-install should not
chroot.

Where can I find information about the whole install-process behind the
GUI?

please let me know, what you think about my idea.

Thanks
