+# Ubuntu preseed file - preseed.cfg
+# Works for Ubuntu 10.x, 11.x & 12.x
+#
+# For more information on preseed syntax and commands, refer to:
+# https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html
+#
+# For testing, you can fire up a local http server temporary.
+# Download the preseed.cfg file locally, cd to the directory where the
+# preseed.cfg resides and run hte following command:
+#  $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
+# You don't have to restart the server every time you make changes.  Python
+# will reload the file from disk every time there is a request.  As long as you
+# save your changes they will be reflected in the next HTTP download.  Then to
+# test with a PXE boot server, use the following kernel boot parameters:
+#  > linux auto url=http://<your_ip>:8000/preseed.cfg hostname=<hostname> locale=en_US keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP
+#
+# NOTE: If you netboot/PXE boot Ubuntu, it will ignore the value in hostname,
+# but you must provide a hostname as a boot parameter to prevent the Ubuntu
+# install from prompting for a hostname
