[Bug 1388944] [NEW] preseed.cfg is ignored with 14.10 server

 

Public bug reported:

We support unattended installs of Ubuntu.

We use the preseed.cfg mechanism documented.

It works fine with the desktop, but the preseed.cfg is ignored with the
server iso.

We create a second bootable CD with the boot config and preseed file which then uses
the origjnal iso image to install.

I can provide the iso  on request.
