Bug Description

In the netboot tar file downloaded from
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
the file './ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux' has file permissions 600.

In the previous Ubuntu releases the 'linux' file has permissions 644. Also, the 'linux' file in the 32-bit-version tar file for Ubuntu 18.04 has file permissions 644.

The file permissions 600 causes that a pxe installation fails if using the tftpd-hpa package with the default configuration. The process is run as user tftp which has no read permission for the 'linux' file.

Please change permissions to 644 for './ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux' in the netboot tar file.
