Dear Ram,
One way to deal with replicating a customised install on many machines is
to install one machine with all the required packages.
Once ready use a clonezilla iso to boot from it, take a backup and restore
it to multiple machines. If DHCP you dont need any changes after this image
backup/r
es the terminal pop up for it
to allow adding other software through apt-get install .
Any suggestions / alternatives would be much appreciated
kind regards
ram

You want to look at the ubuntu-defaults-image command from

That would be easier using apton
But apton seems to have issues
And as you say dpkg - I with. Debs will really take a long while
there is a way to have the repos offline on a hdd, that might be easier,
combined with a script to install the required additional software

You would need a computer that's connected to the Internet to download the
packages though.
Try
apt-get download PACKAGE && apt-cache depends -i PACKAGE | awk '/Depends:/
{print $2}' | xargs apt-get download
Where PACKAGE is your package of interest.

Hi,
I have two ideas:
- with 4M linux you can create an image and then restore it to the others
- for the packages there is a possibility to create " meta packages" e.g.
gnome-desktop which include a lot of other packages
I havent tried any of those myself but i read it is possible

You could try downloading the .deb packages once, with all the dependencies
and use dpkg -i * to install them in each of these machines.
But that's the laborious and straightforward way of doing this.

Hi
I need to install Ubuntu (or mint) on about 30 laptops , apart from the
basic install there is a tonne of other software (and i suppose updates)
that need to be installed
and doing that for 30 ls laptops is both time consuming and band width
consuming if i use only the basic install
