[Bug 796486] Re: Examples don't match requirements

[Stanislaw Pitucha]

Yes, the example says "auto" instead of "auto=true" as described later on.
This caused the preseed to be completely ignored, which was really confusing for me.

Those examples (and others in the guide) should be changed to:
auto=true url=http://192.168.1.2/path/to/mypreseed.file
auto=true url=example.com classes=class_A;class_B

Title:
  Examples don't match requirements

Status in “installation-guide” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On the page about using preseed, the examples don't match required
  syntax. Examples include:

  auto url=http://192.168.1.2/path/to/mypreseed.file
  auto url=example.com classes=class_A;class_B

  Yet, lower there is the following requirement:

  "The following aliases can be useful when using (auto mode)
  preseeding. Note that these are simply short aliases for question
  names, and you always need to specify a value as well: for example,
  auto=true or interface=eth0."

  I had a big issue trying to figure out why the preseed installation
  didn't start, until I spotted this - yet I was following the examples
  correctly. Same thing affects 10.10 and earlier docs.
