I guess not many people are using the hd-media + ISO install method? The ISO is located and mounted successfully, then rejected due to missing items in the Packages file. What I did: 1) Downloaded vmlinuz and initrd.gz to a USB drive from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ 2) Set up syslinux to boot those two 3) Downloaded to the same flash drive ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso 4) Booted from the flash drive. After the ISO is located and mounted, the installer errors out and is unable to proceed.
