usb boot preparation doc says copy some filenames from simply "ubuntu archives". This needs to be more specific like having a path or link.

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/amd64/boot-usb-files.html

It says

"copy the following files from the Ubuntu archives to the stick:
      vmlinuz (kernel binary)
      initrd.gz (initial ramdisk image)
      syslinux.cfg (SYSLINUX configuration file)
      Optional kernel modules"

Well, google took me here:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
but I don't see any of those files, and no path is given.

I ended up copying all the files out of earlier mentioned netboot/boot.img.gz, which worked, but those aren't those 4 file names. The actual location of those files needs to be linked or given instructions to, or possibly a description of how to get different working files from the netboot/boot.img.gz.

This bug is the same in the debian install doc but their bug tracking is not very friendly for first time users.

Thanks for the report. I'm moving it to the installation-guide package, which is responsible for this document.
