Bug Description

On the kubuntu Dapper desktop CD (x86 -- downloaded yesterday), the boot menu's help page <F5> "Special boot parameters - overview" refers to "expert mode" on <F3> to ask for kernel module parameters. However, the text on <F3> appears to make no reference to "expert mode".

Seconded. The help for the text-mode boot menu is also out of date, mentioning 'live-expert', which doesn't appear to be a valid boot option.
