Netboot is broken on the iso tracker

[Scott Kitterman]

Phil,

It's a pretty simple concept.  You mis-remembered Debian instead of Debian 
Installer.  It's not a major mistake, but your extended chain of incorrect 
inferences from that small mistake are all yours.  Don't blame the release 
team.  Your defensive reaction makes it even worse.  Instead of blaming 
everyone else, how about just accepting you screwed up.
