Greetings,

I am experiencing difficulty in retrieving (pull selected) these Ubuntu netboot images for local use:

Asset path
ubuntu-netboot-22.04-amd64 22.04.3-7e94379b/filesystem.squashfs
ubuntu-netboot-22.04-arm64 22.04.3-63c09265/filesystem.squashfs

If I try to download via link than I receive - Page not found.
page-not-found

Could someone please confirm this issue?
It seems that other Ubuntu 22.04.3 netboot images can be downloaded without any problems.

There is a way of getting older releases here: https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04/
Maybe this path could be used instead of the newest ones like https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04.5/

Closing as this is no longer relevent with the squashfs pulled for the netboot kernels.

So the squashfs for these netboot kernels is no longer available? how can we download and host the squashfs for these older images? When you say pulled does that mean they are no longer available?

The recommended way now is to use Ubuntu Spins loader which loads the Ubuntu Kernels and then streams the desired ISO down. The older way is unreliable and prone to issues and I will probably start spinning down the old method.
