system installation - Install ubuntu with the command line


I want to install Ubuntu without using Ubiquity. I want to install it through the command line only. Not looking for Ubuntu Server install. Just help on how I can install it through the command line.


I know in Arch Linux you can use pacstrap base to install a basic system. Is there any way I can manually extract the file system from the LiveCD?



Ubuntu does have Minimal CDs that are 35MB - 40MB in size that install the base system and allow you to do command line installation. They also let you choose only the packages that you want to install.
