in the Network Install from Internet
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
the instructions are insufficient...

Download the appropriate initrd.gz and linux files for your architecture and distribution from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/
(These files are quite small, under 10MB for either architecture.)
[/endquote]
The link brings up a page with different versions - why?
choosing one, and then architecture, reveals numerous files and folders - now what?
looking around i find a "initrd" that is 16M - contradiction to 10M or totally wrong file?
As for "appropriate linux files" - what are these?
So this is a show stopper for anyone new to linux, that only has network install as an option. |
