Following the Ubuntu 13.04 Installation Guide's USB install instructions
for amd64 at https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/installation-
guide/amd64/ch04s03.html#usb-copy-flexible doesn't work, it seems. I
guess not many people are using the hd-media + ISO install method? The
ISO is located and mounted successfully, then rejected due to missing
items in the Packages file.

What I did:

1) Downloaded vmlinuz and initrd.gz to a USB drive from
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/

2) Set up syslinux to boot those two

3) Downloaded to the same flash drive ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso

4) Booted from the flash drive.

After the ISO is located and mounted, the installer errors out and is
unable to proceed. The log says:
