Bug#532437: debian-installer: documentation 4.3.2.2: s/vmlinuz/linux/?

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090123lenny1
Severity: minor

http://debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en

says under "4.3.2.2. Adding the installer image" that the name of the
kernel file is "vmlinuz".

However,
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/
only has files named initrd.gz, linux and pxelinux.0.

Is this a bug in the documentation or ftp.debian.org? Please reassign
appropriately.

Problem here is that the section was originally written for using
the "hd-media" images, and not the "netboot" images.

And in the hd-media images the kernel *is* named vmlinuz:
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/

I've added a paragraph to explain this.

Thanks,
FJP
