All these points are already implemented by tasksel, which is the component used to handle task in the ubuntu-server installer.

It's better to do this in the individual packages. -- Mathias -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
