No idea how to do that for my primary installation media, which is
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/, from which I download the installation kernel
and initrd for network/ftp install via grub HD boot. I did a few installs
from CD, but most from ftp. The results were similar for both type installs,
but with more problems getting installed at all from verified CDs that work
fine in other systems than from network installs. Similar problems with both
dapper and edgy, all of which is why I suspect some wierd hardware issue(s)
with either these old slot 1 motherboards or old UDMA33 or older HDs.
