[Bug 262356] Re: the fact that some parts on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization does not apply to netboot images is not made explicit

The community docs are a wiki, not part of the installation-guide
package.  Just go edit the wiki if you like.

Title:
  the fact that some parts on
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization does not
  apply to netboot images is not made explicit

Status in “installation-guide” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization page
  talks about "remastering Ubuntu install CDs", but it does not make it
  explicit that some parts of that page don't apply to netboot images.
  (In particular, a warning that preseed/file cannot be used with
  netboot images  (even when booting from CD) should be included.

  Or, it might be enough to link to https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04
  /installation-guide/i386/preseed-intro.html instead of
  https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-
  using.html

  The point is that if one start at
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization and follows
  prominent links, one will miss https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04
  /installation-guide/i386/preseed-intro.html and the table of
  preseeding methods. Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-
  guide/i386/preseed-contents.html (where I got by following a link from
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization) I didn't
  even notice that it is just a sub-sub section in a larger document:
  that is only apparent from the navigation bar at the bottom of the
  page and is really easy to miss in such a long document. (shouldn't
  that navigation bar be at the top of the page instead?)
