There are many ways of partitioning disks. I prefer "Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM"
I will skip this part in my documentation. Partitioning schemes can be an entire wiki in itself!
Select "Install security updates automatically" -- we will be manually editing the config file once we reboot.
On "Software selection" select the bottom two: "OpenSSH server" and "Basic Ubuntu server".

  • We want to keep installation of packages to a minimum in the case they will conflict with libraries required for the configuration we are building. You want an much control over the installation and configuration as possible.

Select <yes> on "Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk"
Select the appropriate choice about the system clock. It is normal that the system clock be set to UTC, but I like them being set to the local time. Your choice on this one.

Select "continue" to reboot.
