Ubuntu automated installs

Hello,

I am attempting to get the 7.10 to install using the kickstart method 
and have some questions which I am hoping to get answers to.

- When I put in packages I get what appears to be the full 
ubuntu-desktop install. Is there any way to get "the server" install 
with no desktop environment using kickstart?

I have also attempted to to use the normal installer with a preseed 
file, I however get problems where It goes through a keyboard "press one 
of these keys" style menu system no matter what options I try and 
specify in the preseed. I have been unable to fully automate it.

Any advice would be great.

Regards,

James
