Title:

Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
