# Template Manifest #

This file explains the goals of this template definition. For details
about the function of veewee template files, see the documentation on
how to [Customize Definitions](../../doc/customize.md).

### Overview ###

**Template Name:**
`Ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386`

**Box Objective:**
The aim is to setup a vanilla `Ubuntu 32-bit (i386) desktop` plus setup
what's needed for veewee automation, VirtualBox guest additions, and to
install the foundation so that either `puppet` or `chef` can easily
customize as needed.

The template was loosely based on `ubuntu-12.04.3-server-i386` and
`ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64`.  It improves the
`ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64` template by moving Desktop setup to
the `preseed.cfg` file instead of a post installation; which essentially
caused setup to run twice (first for the linux server kernel install,
then a second time for the install of the standard kernel).

As a result, this definition is less complex and the build is faster.
