Bug Description
https:/
it states "A full, “pure network” installation can be achieved using this technique" but does not explain how to find and select the two needed files, a kernel and a ramdisk.
An other page in the installation guide

does not clarify it either, because it only mentions "images" (for USB discs and CD's I suppose) and points to "the archive" and the MANIFEST file that should explain which file does what, but does not mention kernel and ramdisk for netboot.
I expect the documentation to be more specific, perhaps point out the files directly. As the directory and file naming structure is not self explanatory, it is necessary to tell which files can be used to initiate a net-boot (that does not need additional local files or media in the pc).
