Care to explain a bit more? AFAICT the netboot

Thanks. I need to correct myself a bit.
Yes. netbook images are available at for example for
12.10-x86_64 at:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/current/images/
or the daily build area.
The hierarchy, however, differs from what you may get
from an iso image. IMO Red Hat systems are more consistent
in this regard.
Ah, got it.
While we are on the subject of netboot issue, I also spotted something
odd. AFAIK, the ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso and
ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso do not provide working netboot images
for PXE network install. Please see my test report in this regard:

The "alternate" install image has been dropped from 12.10. There's a
lengthy thread on ubuntu-devel@ if you want to see the reasons behind
it. Just use the mini-iso, mirror 'main' & main/debian-installer locally
or install everything from the proper archive. The server iso should
still work for netbooting, though, just need to preseed the package
set/tasks.
