This bug is marked as fix-released... However the title of the bug is:

       Network not available in Hardy Heron 8.04

Please reset the status to 'In Progress' as networking is still not available via friendly-recovery in 8.04 or 8.10. I have all repositories enabled (including backports and proposed), both systems are fully updated, yet there is no 'netroot' in usr/share/recovery-mode/options/. On hardy the friendly-recovery version installed is 0.1.2 and on Intrepid it is 0.2.6.

Yes I know that I can install the proposed script myself, but we are finding issues on the ubuntu users list where new users are losing their Gnome desktop panels & on occasion they cannot get into a terminal via the desktop or gdm. Having the ability to direct them to recovery mode and easily enable networking so that they can then use the network to update/upgrade/reinstall a problem package is imperative.
