[Bug 1302294] [NEW] Ubuntu 14.04.1 DVD images for MAAS

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Public bug reported:

I'm filing this bug here, as a place holder.  I expect it'll need to get
linked or moved elsewhere.

For 14.04.1, it would be quite handy to build a larger image, perhaps a
DVD/USB sized Ubuntu Server image, with the additional bits that MAAS
needs to bootstrap nodes.  At a bare minimum, include in the single
download the PXE/ISO images needed to boot a single architecture, as
well as a single architecture's fastpath installation image.

There certainly are people more knowledgeable than I about the most
efficient way to accomplish this.

The problem, as I see, from a user experience perspective, is that even
after you've installed MAAS, you might be an hour or more away from
actually being able to do anything with it, while you download a bunch
of extra images.

It would be quite convenient to bundle all of this up into a single ~2GB
download.  This would be particularly handy when one need to deploy and
use MAAS in an environment that does not have internet connectivity, if
you could get everything you need on a single USB stick.
