Bug Description

On the Dapper desktop i386 alternate install CD, the install docs (which are otherwise extremely complete and helpful) have a small error.

"1.5. Getting the Newest Version of This Document" at (cdroot)/doc/install/manual/en/ch01s05.html says that updated versions of the manual are available and provides a link to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-i386/current/doc/

Unfortunately, the URL results only in a 404.

I don't know how that part of the website is handled, but the ideal way to deal with this would be to redirect to the current installation doc URL on the website.

Failing that, it would probably be a good idea to at least provide a corrected URL in future versions of documentation.

Thank you!

My appologies for not providing more detail. I have tried, but failed, to determine what the correct URL should be.

I also appologize if I've otherwise reported this incorrectly. This is the first Ubuntu bug I've reported, so feel free to let me know if I've done anything wrong.
