Bug Description

The current motd instructions on the official Ubuntu beta2 image (EU ami-5e173f2a) say:

  At the moment, only the core of the system is installed. To tune the
  system to your needs, you can choose to install one or more
  predefined collections of software by running the following
  command:

     sudo tasksel --section server

However, if this command is run when the image is first run, the tasksel menu only contains:

  [*] Basic Ubuntu server
  [ ] DNS server
  [*] OpenSSH server
  [ ] Print server
  [ ] Samba file server

After a simple

  apt-get update

the tasksel menu expands to:

  [*] Basic Ubuntu server
  [ ] DNS server
  [ ] Edubuntu server
  [ ] LAMP server
  [ ] Mail server
  [*] OpenSSH server
  [ ] PostgreSQL database
  [ ] Print server
  [ ] Samba file server
  [ ] Tomcat Java server
  [ ] Virtual Machine host

Consider expanding the motd instructions to something like:

  sudo apt-get update && sudo tasksel --section server
