Appendix B about Automating the Installation has some misstakes

[Rorschach]

Under https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html is explained how one can automate the installation of ubuntu.

But there are some misstakes/missing parts. This guide just works with the alternate-cd and not with the desktop-cd but this is not mentioned with one single word in the guide. The cause is that this guide has been written for the debian-installer which is on the alternate-cd. The desktop-cds use ubiquity which has it's own preseeding facility which differs from the debian-installer. There are also way more limitations with ubiquity, so some things can't be preseeded with it at all.

To fix this bug:
Explain in this guide that it's just working with the alternate-cd.

Under https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-creating.html is written one can get a list of all preseeding-options with:

$ debconf-get-selections --installer > file
$ debconf-get-selections >> file

but those commands do also not work on a desktop-installation because the database of these questions isn't created with an installation from a desktop-cd.

To fix this bug:
Explain in this guide that those commands will just have success if installed from an alternate-cd.
