1. Is it possible to install Ubuntu with the standard Debian setup of a

will be pulling user and group information from LDAP, and don't want any
local users other than root.

I haven't done a fresh install since Warty, but there used to be a 'server
install', that did this. Check it out.

FYI server installation has no effect on root password setup, although
expert installation (see my other post to this thread) does.
