Testdrive could include mini ISO as an option

[Jackson Doak]

Testdrive a new tab needs to be made to include netboot, it is the only tested ubuntu iso that is not in testdrive.

Hi Jackson,

The tab called "Other" is intended for any other type of ISO's the user *wants* to add. It is not intended to have any default ISO images listed in there.

For this reason, the tab will not be removed. However, the netboot ISO's might be a good idea. Where are these usually located and what images are you looking to be testing?

the netboot iso's are in cdimage just like everything else. they are ~30mb
and called mini.iso , we have versions for all architextures

oops, the daily netboot builds are in ports.ubuntu.com, only netboot releases are in cdimage.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

the mini.iso is published in the archive, e.g.:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/quantal/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/mini.iso

If at all possible can you fix this bug by the 8th of february? we need it working for some ubuntu-classroom sessions.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
