Comment 33 for bug 1244176

Pragmatically I would just go for a 14.04 (LTS) install. It is pretty stable already and following updates you would end up with a long-term supported install. If it has to be 13.10 then its either a netinstall with a preseed (so no interaction is required), but that is slightly complicated. Or use a 13.04 install media and upgrade from there. A bit tedious.
