Hi,

We want to pxeboot/preseed a number of servers in to very light JEOS
servers, i.e. we don't want the ubuntu-standard package installed, but
no matter what I try ubuntu-standard always gets installed. I'm
assuming it's being installed by default by tasksel as it's a new
install. We've tried overriding the tasks in the pxelinux.cfg/default
file

LABEL jeos_preseed
    kernel jeos-hardy/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
    append vga=normal
initrd=jeos-hardy/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz tasksel/tasks=""
locale=en_GB console-setup/layoutcode=gb netcfg/choose_interface=eth0
netcfg/get_hostname=ubuntu preseed/url=http://a.b.c.d/preseed.txt --

and in our preseed.txt

d-i     tasksel/first multiselect
d-i     tasksel/skip-tasks multiselect standard, server
d-i     pkgsel/ubuntu-standard boolean false

yet it still gets installed.

Does anyone know how to stop tasksel from running and/or stop
ubuntu-standard from being installed when we try to preseed?

Thanks,

Rus
