Need help in Ubuntu kickstart for setting certain parameters

Hi Folks,

I am pretty newbie in kickstart and would like communities assistance on setting certain parameters at ks.cfg or seed file.

I have ubuntu 16.04

I need to set hostname which I guess below is correct method?
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --hostname testserver

How do I remove Ubuntu logo which appears at first menu selection? [img1]
And I am still being prompted for languages [see img2]

Here's a sample ks.cfg. Delete what you don't need, leave what you do need, and change what you have to. https://github.com/joyent/mi-centos-.../master/ks.cfg

This is related to CentOS however should not be any issue with Ubuntu but I have concern regarding deleting that boot picture of Ubuntu. As well as I have certain configfile.tgz which needs to be put on /opt and then install.sh which would run contents from that .tgz

Kickstart is a Red Hat invention. So, most of the docs are for Red Hat based distros. If you want to replace the artwork, you have to hunt it down the old fashioned way.
