I am trying to create a USB drive that will install Ubuntu 16.04 on a machine that boots from it. This install should be completely automated, so that I simply need to plug the USB drive in and turn the machine on (assuming it's set to try booting from the USB drive first).

I am currently using the Desktop image found here, because the machines I use this on will end up being used by someone as a desktop.

The current problem I am having is that when I start the machine it brings up the Try it/Install screen, which requires input before it will do anything. I have seen some questions on this site that tell you how to automatically bypass in favor of "Try it", but I need to automatically bypass in favor of "Install". My plan is to then use preseeding (see here) to ensure the installation is completely automated.

Is there a way to do this? Am I on the wrong track to getting a completely automated installation?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    What you could do, if you can't get this to work, might be to use an imaging / disk cloning software like [Clonezilla](http://clonezilla.org/). First install to one computer, and then clone the install to all the others. – Jonas Czech Jun 27 '16 at 16:00
