Yeah, I'd recommend d-i as the default, but it's painful and preseed is
not well-documented (especially the hidden options/values to make for a
NQA (no questions asked) install).

I don't think it's worth doing until it's fully supported by Ubuntu.

But, I don't see why you can't just have your profile use a kickstart
and it wouldn't just work? I don't believe that Cobbler really knows
about the syntax of the file used to netboot, it just treats it as a
template, etc. I might be wrong, though.

That is, for your system, just point it's kickstart entry to a kickstart
file instead of a preseed. Does that work?
