Unfortunately, the documentation didn't consider Ubuntu. So far we have a bit
of a limitation in Ubuntu flow where the change you indicated is required,
since the Ubuntu scripted installation initramfs can't make HTTPS API calls
through scripting, we fed the image name so it knows where to find install.iso.
I have considered the potential of ultimately superseding a significant
portion of 'addons' material to a Rust executable to avoid varying dependencies
of whether an environment provides curl, wget, python, a particular variant of
libcrypt, etc, which would fix this gap, but it hasn't been a strong enough
case to make it a priority.
So we should amend to note that Ubunntu currently requires profile.yaml be
tweaked and thes updateboot.

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] profiles with Confluent
Hello,
The Confluent documentation for OS deployment:
https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/confluentosdeploy.html
lists only five commands that need to be run to create a new profile:
# cd /var/lib/confluent/public/os/
# cp -a rhel-8.2-x86_64-default rhel-8.2-x86_64-custom
# cd /var/lib/confluent/private/os/
# cp -a rhel-8.2-x86_64-default rhel-8.2-x86_64-custom
# osdeploy updateboot rhel-8.2-x86_64-custom
However I found I had to edit a number of files to take the initial
ubuntu-22.04.3-x86_64-default/ profile and create my own
ubuntu-22.04.3-x86_64-test1/, per the following diffs:

IIRC, I run the "osdeploy updateboot …" command (with my profile name). Did I
miss something? Should the above files been automatically changed in some
fashion?
Thanks for any info.
(This is Confluent 3.8.0.)
Regards,
David
