I tried doing a global replace on the mk-basefile script
s/XENIAL/ARTFUL/g but when I ran the modified script, it created a 4k
file that didn't work as a basefile. So then I just copied the Ubuntu
zesty/17.04 basefile to artful/17.10 and it appears to have worked. An
installation is proceeding as I write.
But I think that the documentation on the steps to manually build a
basefile would be helpful. I don't suppose you still have that
documentation for installing ubuntu around do you? All I remember is
that it suggested booting from a live Ubuntu ISO and then running
pbuilder. It doesn't look as if mk-basefile uses pbuilder though which
confuses me.

I've removed this very old wiki howto. There's the script mk-basefile
in /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple/basefiles/mk-basefile which
is used for creating basefiles. Currently there's only an entry for
Ubuntu xenial, but a similar one should work for 17.10.
