edgy server install help is out of date

[Carl Karsten]

8 issues - I'll lump them into one big report - hope that is ok.
The are all issues with the text you get when you hit F2-f8 at the opening menu.

Boot the Server CD, hit F2, (or look at isolinux/f2.txt) see:

"You must have at least 32 megabytes of RAM to use this Ubuntu installer. -- You should have space on your hard disk to create a new disk partition of at least 2 gigabytes to install a standard Ubuntu desktop system or at least 400 megabytes for a minimal server installation. You'll need..."

1. if you run with 32 meg you are told you need 36.

2. I don't think the desktop specs should be on the server CD.

3. "minimal server" should just be "server"

<f3.txt>
0fAvailable boot methods:07
0finstall07
  Start the installation -- this is the default CD-ROM install.
0fexpert07
  Start the installation in expert mode, for maximum control.
0fserver07, 0fserver-expert07
  Minimal system install. Recommended for servers, where a complete
  graphical desktop environment is not desired.
0fmemtest07
  Perform a memory test.
To use one of these boot methods, type it at the prompt, optionally
followed by any boot parameters. For example:
  boot: install acpi=off
If unsure, you should use the default boot method, with no special
parameters, by simply pressing enter at the boot prompt.
</ f3.txt>

4.there is no boot: prompt. There is "F6-Other Options", which gives you a “Boot Options” prompt and even then you have to delete the current boot line, which is cumbersome.
5.There is no “server” or “server-expert” options - ( you can enter them at the “F6 Boot Options” and get the default install, just as any other invalid option – like “foo” )
6.“Minimal system install. Recommended for servers, where a complete graphical desktop environment is not desired.” um, moot on the server cd.

<f4.txt?
0frescue07
  Boot into rescue mode.
To use one of these boot methods, type it at the prompt, optionally
followed by any boot parameters. For example:
  boot: rescue acpi=off
</f4.txt>

7. Well, yes – if you hit F6, remove the existing boot options and type “rescue”. But there is now a “Rescue a broken system” option on the opening menu. - that is what the F4 screen should describe.On

<f5.txt>
a few systems, you may need to specify a parameter at the boot:
<f5.txt>

<f6.txt>
You can use the following boot parameters at the 0fboot:07 prompt,
...
For example:
  boot: install vga=771 noapic nolapic
</f6.txt>

<f7.txt>
same as f6
</f7.txt>

<f8.txt>
same as f6
</f8.txt>

8.more mentions of the currently non-existent “boot:” prompt.

Thanks for your bug report.

You should definitively have a look at bug 55128 :)
