autoinstall.yaml to specify minimal install?

[fossfreedom]

The 24.04 provision installer now exposes the subiquity autoinstall.yaml ability.

From a desktop customisation point of view, is it possible to specify starting from a minimal install rather than the default full install that currently is performed for autoinstalls?

Using Ubuntu Budgie - on an normal interactive install, the full install is the default, minimal install is an option in the installer GUI.

Yes, you sure can.

The value being specified here is the id value in install-sources.yaml created by livecd-rootfs, so for Budgie it looks like the values are ubuntu-budgie-desktop-minimal and ubuntu-budgie-desktop.

Example:

(LP ate my properly spaced YAML when I edited the comment, so posting a new comment with the example)

I think the action here subiquity side is to document these values at https://canonical-subiquity.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/reference/autoinstall-reference.html

Example:

```
autoinstall:
  source:
    id: ubuntu-budgie-desktop-minimal
```
