Available boot methods:
install
   Start the installation -- this is the default CD-ROM install.

expert
   Start the installation in expert mode, for maximum control.

server, server-expert
   Minimal system install. Recommended for servers, where a complete graphical desktop environment is not desired.

memtest
   Perform a memory test.

but, "server-expert" option no work !!!!

this is the options in "/isolinux/isolinux.cfg" cdrom file:

LABEL install
LABEL linux
LABEL cdrom
LABEL expert
LABEL lamp-server
LABEL lamp-server-expert
LABEL check
LABEL rescue
LABEL memtest
LABEL hd

in other worlds, it necesary change the "isolinux/f4.txt" cdrom file for show the correct options.

Setting package to debian-installer, so this bug gets out of the list of bugs without a package.
Can you confirm this bug still happens in edgy/feisty?
Thanks.

I am guessing it is these 2 files, and they seem to agree now:

http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/boot-screens/f3.txt

http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default

But that isn't the server CD - couldn't find the files for it, but didn't spend much time looking. I would not spend much time on this. mark it as stale or something. I think it is more important to catch up with the incoming so that questions can be asked when the report still remembers it.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

There's still a problem here in jaunty, although the missing menu items are cli and cli-expert rather than server and server-expert.

(Most people will not see this problem, as it is not visible from the default gfxboot interface, so I'm dropping the importance. However, some people end up at the older-style syslinux menu interface for one reason or another, so the bug is still valid.)
