system installation - Install Ubuntu without Setup


I'm trying to create an Ubuntu install script which will install Ubuntu onto a machine such that, at next boot, the user will be prompted to perform the normal setup tasks such as picking a system language, username, password, etc, much like when you buy a new Mac or PC (and, I presume, a new laptop with pre-installed Ubuntu, although I've never done that, so I'm not sure).


Are there utilities or installation options which make this possible? If not, any ideas on how I might tackle this? I don't need explicit code, just some ideas to point me in the right direction. Thanks!



That's called an OEM install, and it is covered on help.ubuntu.com.
