Kickstart (graphically setting up a configuration file) Here is my addition to this file where I used 'lampserver' as a label and my seed will be named 'lampserver' too. If you want to make your menu option the default one, you only need to change the default install to default myownoption.Īnd editing the file (I used nano but if available use gedit, vim or another editor).

'Install Custom Ubuntu Server' is the text that will show up in the boot menu.myownoption is just a label you can use to identify your option.This will create a new option called 'Install Custom Ubuntu server' and it will add a kickstart file (the kickstart file is used to alter options explained below): label myownoptionĪppend file=/cdrom/preseed/ed initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiet ks=cdrom:/preseed/ks-custom.cfg. The menu options for the installer are stored in isolinux/txt.cfg and you can create new options in-between default install and label install. It will throw 1 error message: mount: block device /discworld/Downloads/ is write-protected, mounting read-onlyĮxample images on how this will look like:.Put this in a text file, save it, make it executable and execute it: # Ubuntu custom server This will create 2 directories 'iso' and 'isoNew' inside your Downloads directory, mount the ISO and copy the contents from 'iso' over to 'isoNew' to start a new project.

I will also assume we use ~/Downloads/ to do all our work. Keep a copy of your download so you can create multiple new versions from the original download in case you need to improve your project. I will assume the 13.10 64-bit version in the following instructions, so adjust the commands to the download you did.

The file name for the server edition will look similar to this: You have the option to go 32-bit or 64-bit. Download the Ubuntu server ISO from this location.
