I've read a lot about the "minimal desktop" flavor that will be included in Ubuntu 18.04. What do I need to put it the preseed file to do an unattended install of it?



I assume it's some variation of the existing



tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-desktop


(from https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt) but I don't know what the legal choices are.

          The available options are documented in the Ubuntu installation guide, section B.4.10 which reads:



          You can choose to install any combination of tasks that are available. Available tasks as of this writing include:



          • standard (standard tools)

          • ubuntu-desktop

          • kubuntu-desktop

          • edubuntu-desktop

          • lubuntu-desktop

          • ubuntu-gnome-desktop

          • xubuntu-desktop

          • ubuntu-mate-desktop

          • lamp-server

          • print-server (print server)

          However, minimal install is not a d-i key, but an ubiquity one. Add this to the preseed:



          ubiquity ubiquity/minimal_install boolean true


          (Obtained by reading the Ubiquity source code).
