"netinst" is a specific, unintuitive name for a CD that Debian produces; it's defined as an image that includes all the udebs from the archive without including any .debs. So this is debian-cd jargon, and should really be avoided when talking about Ubuntu images, especially considering how easily "netinst" can be confused with "netboot". I think it's better to call what we produce a "minimal CD", as here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD But while this CD would continue to be available, and we probably wouldn't spend effort on adding UEFI support to it, it's still not something that I think we want to point to as a supported install method for broken-BIOS machines, for the reasons mentioned in my previous mail. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
