[Bug 1368700] Re: note for pxe boot with local repository

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Documentation is missing a critical piece of preseed configuration, which can lead to network-based installations to fail to run.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1- Look at doc/install/manual/example-preseed.txt.gz on ubuntu-server CDs.
+ 2- Example for d-i live-installer/net-image preseed is missing, under Base install section.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal. This is limited to documentation strings.
+ 
+ ----
+ 
  When pxe boot with local repository, there is an error about
  filesystem.squashfs
  
  but
  
  after we add below line on preseed.cfg,  it works fine.
  
  ###
  d-i live-installer/net-image string http://IP/PATH/install/filesystem.squashfs
  ###
  
  It's better if this note is in documentation
  
  reference to : http://www.michaelm.info/blog/?p=1378
  
  Thanks.
