automated install

[Jan Marquardt]

Hi Pierre,

I can recommend FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) for installing Ubuntu 
complete automatically. We are using FAI for some years to install 
Debian and newly also Ubuntu. You can find information about FAI under 
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/.

Hope this helps for the beginning.
