Ubuntu Installation – How to Configure Unattended Installation of Ubuntu

installationUbuntuunattended

I'd like to configure an installer for Ubuntu which runs in 'unattended' mode and answers all the questions with defaults or pre-configured settings. Ideally it should run and reboot on it's own, resulting in a working system with no user input.

Redhat has this with Anaconda (I beleive it's called Kickstart?).

I know there is debian-installer, but I'm not sure how Ubuntu works or if it's very different. We definately want to use Ubuntu for this.

I've used FAI for this before, to good effect. It will do the install over a network or from a bootable CD-ROM. It's for debian, but should work fine with Ubuntu.
