I'm doing all my testing in a Proxmox Environment, using VMs. This may be the root cause of why things are erroring but I'm here to check!</div>

Initially I've been through the guides and deployed on our Debian builds, but to make things a little cleaner I have downloaded the large ISO from the website and installed that. In my environment I have the ability to reserve IP addresses on a network range
with a MAC reservation, the reservation is added to the DHCP system before starting a machine on the network. For the FAI Server install I selected the install option with External DHCP. This tries to start a service which I don't believe I need. Should
I have selected the internal option, or do I just disable the dhcp service on the fai server?</div>

Because I don't control the external dhcp feature - I can't slow it down or add any options, so I believe its the Autodiscover function which I need to use.</div>

The bootable autodiscover iso finds the server no problem and if I select the Simple install which does headless Debian it runs through without error. However if I try Ubuntu then it consistently finishes with ERROR but it does boot to a usable desktop after
rebooting.</div>
