Ehrm, shouldn't it be sufficient to just put the pattern in an updated
base-config package? Or would that be too invasive? (Breaking the archive is
invasive, too ;)

Another trick could be to add the string to pxelinux.cfg/default (Until the
archive is fixed, off course)

I put the following in my pxelinux default file (minus the line breaks), and
my laptop is installing file right now:

label desktop
        kernel ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
        append
  base-config/package-selection=~t^ubuntu-standard$|~t^ubuntu-desktop$
  vga=normal initrd=ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=16432
  root=/dev/rd/0 rw  --

Thanks a lot for the right pattern.

Valentijn
