Comment 16 for bug 2038987

I just tried again with Ubuntu 20231016.1 on a no-network bare-metal install; plugged the ethernet cable in long enough to update the installer, then removed it again (no WiFi on this box). The installer still quit on "configuring apt".

So, it seems that it's not quite up to the job of doing offline installs.

Apropos of comment #12 above, I've discovered I can disable the SATA controller in UEFI; thus I can't accidentally try to install to the system disk. :)
