The page at http://hands.com/d-i/ is linked to from http://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apbs02.html#preseed-auto Part of http://hands.com/d-i/ has The features described depend on a new udeb called auto-install, . . . . . but auto-install is no longer in the archives. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624719 I'm unsure what should replace the present statement but perhaps The features described depend on the preseed framework and are activated by setting . . . . would do. At present there is an disussion on -user about automated installation and preseeding. The subthread starts at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/12/msg00587.html One of the issues revolves round the documentation for auto mode in the Guide. There are lines of the form auto url=http://192.168.1.2/path/to/mypreseed.file and it is felt that "auto" is both unhelpful and misleading and should be replaced by "auto=true". Considering the whole section is concerned with an activated auto mode it would lead to a little less head scratching and consternation when "auto" by itself is found to have no effect. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/12/msg00792.html probably summarises the situation best. Would it please be possible to consider changing the "auto url=" lines to "auto=true url=" or to accept a patch doing so.
