[ubuntu-us-mi] completely automated install of Lucid using preseeding

[Robert Citek]

Has anyone here done a completely automated install of Ubuntu 10.04
using preseeding?

My eventual goal is to completely automate the installation of Ubuntu.
 That is, given a new machine, I want to plug in power, plug in
Ethernet, turn it on, and walk away.  When I come back, I want to be
presented with a login prompt to a completely new Ubuntu installation.

Can this be done with Ubuntu and preseeding, or should I look at
alternative methods such as cloning?
