Remote ubuntu install

[Jerry Geis]

Is there a method to install ubuntu - Without downloading the server-live
iso ? (which is large).
I have autoinstall working - but again - it has to download the server-live
iso.

I "desire" a very minimal "download" or EVEN no download of an iso (seems
mini is no longer supported)... That based on autoinstall file  - will just
reformat the disk - and "download" everything from the net and install - no
~2G iso to download.

I can login to the teh current machine - put anything I want/need on there
- reboot and let Ubuntu install. Typically I install the "grub" command
needed to boot- do the autoinstall - downloads the live server - and
installs and reboots. But that ~2G iso is a problem on machines with 2G
ram. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't

How can I do that ? Thanks

Jerry
