Hello,

Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS (Precise Pangolin) goes end of life in about 6
weeks, but today I attempted to boot its installer and found its
netboot kernel¹ didn't boot.

With no useful diagnostics it's probably not something I will be
able to get fixed in the remaining time so I have removed it from
our offering a bit early.

If this severely affects anyone then let me know and I'll see if I
can spend a bit more effort on it…

The ones for 14.04.x LTS and 16.04.x LTS still work fine.

Cheers,
Andy
