I am planning to replace Windows XP based 100 odd desktops with Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop 32bit on my clients branches across the country. At my home location I would deploy it manually as I have team to do the stuff. But my clients branches dont have technical support personal. Desktops are in warranty so manufacturer takes care of any issues rest is handled remotely.
I wish to install a customized copy of ubuntu 12.04 with few select packages and external softwares in unattended mode via a usb or dvd rom sent to the branch offices. Wherein they will insert the dvd or usb and start the installation and they will get a ready made system. I will also send them a process document of how to assign IP address to the system so that I can take remote control and do rest of the things remaining.
I would like to know if this is possible in first place? I am checking Uck right now. Hope that helps.
Thanks in advance.
To an extent this is a duplicate question, the answers of the previous questions do satisfy my query of customizing the installer CD/USB but I am not able to get the preseeding stuff clearly from it. Especially if I have to include preseeding in my installer DVD/CD.
