[Bug 1756656] [NEW] Poor selection of install options (tasks) in the server edition (PXE vs. Image)

Hi,

this is some comment about the installation options (Tasks) offered at
the end of the server cd image's installation process. Please use the
option list from the PXE installer.

Reason:

For more than a decade I've been using the PXE installation process to
install my ubuntu machines, because that installation process was just
perfect, exactly what's needed.

The graphical installation process of the desktop edition was too
unflexible (e.g. about encrypted or raid partitions) and always
installed a graphical desktop.

The server edition is almost similar to the PXE process, but the options
of things to install at the end is too limited, e.g. there's no Xubuntu
or Lubunt to install. In contrast, the PXE has a much better list.

Until some years ago, Ubuntu offered an alternative installation
edition, similar to PXE, but that vanished. If I needed to install
ubuntu from a USB device, I preferred the Lubuntu edition then, since it
comes close to the PXE installation process.


However, it would really be nice if the server edition would offer the
full option (task) list as given in the PXE image.  The PXE installation
process was just the best and most powerful of all ubuntu installation
methods. But there's more and more modern hardware requiring an UEFI
installation which (to the best of my knowledge) does not work with PXE.
