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
Fixed for the next release.
