Following the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list I heard about the “only-ubiquity” boot option for the Ubuntu live cd, it’s really cool, it will start a minimal X session (avoiding the complete live environment overhead) and starting only ubiquity to install Ubuntu to the hard disk, amazing.

This feature seems to be still in a beta stage but it seems functional to me.

As a developer of some Ubuntu derivatives this option could make me avoid the remastering of alternate cd to create an automated installation cd, making things much easier.

Now I’m looking for preseeding ubiquity and my quest will be definitively over, live and automatic installation system (also for low ram system) all in one cd, more info will follow.
