Ian Wienand 14ff8f942c ubuntu-minimal : only install 16.04 HWE kernel on xenial Only install the HWE kernel by default for Xenial. This was actually installing the 16.04 HWE kernel on Bionic by accident, since it seems to have that package; however it was breaking Focal. On the other distros, just install the default generic kernel. Let's KISS for now if we can ... Change-Id: I34e27d821fbefe274e7b007f37b0bd34db2e1d26		2020-05-21 14:03:54 +10:00

ubuntu-minimal
==============

The ``ubuntu-minimal`` element uses debootstrap for generating a
minimal image. In contrast the ``ubuntu`` element uses the cloud-image
as the initial base.

By default this element creates the latest LTS release.  The exact
setting can be found in the element's ``environment.d`` directory in
the variable ``DIB_RELEASE``.  If a different release of Ubuntu should
be created, the variable ``DIB_RELEASE`` can be set appropriately.

Note that this element installs ``systemd-sysv`` as the init system for
18.04+.

Environment Variables
---------------------

DIB_UBUNTU_KERNEL:
  :Required: No
  :Default: ``linux-image-generic``
  :Description: Specifies the kernel meta package to install in the image.
  :Example: ``DIB_UBUNTU_KERNEL=linux-image-kvm``
  :Options: ``linux-image-generic``, ``linux-image-kvm``,
            ``linux-image-virtual``
  :Notes: The element must know about the package, otherwise it will select
          the default.
