extreme geekiness

i got bored today and decided i would install ubuntu on the business server.
it is in no way going to be a normal install.
i am intending to do it from home.
if you have ever attempted this before you probably have a vague idea how i am going to do it.
then again maybe not.
it should work (as i have sort of done it before but not remotely)
this is how i intend to do it
install ububtu-6.10-server on a machine at home.
gzip the resulting install image.
scp it to my server.
repartition the spare 60 gig disk in my server.
chroot into the soon to be default root partition.
edit the /etc/fstab file to reflect the new disk layout.
edit /boot/grub/menu.1st with appropriate disk locations.
install new software.
setup current web hosting setup and databases from current install.
reboot.
cross fingers.
enjoy new server setup which is way easier to keep up to date than a gentoo install that hasn't been updated for so long now i cant remember. (its at least 296 days since that's the current uptime)

wish me luck (though it will probably be finished by the time anyone actually reads this post).
