Examples don't match requirements

[Stanislaw Pitucha]

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.

Thanks for your bug report however it is not clear to me what you think the example should be changed to. Do you mean that it should say:

auto=true url=http://192.168.1.2/path/to/mypreseed.file

or something else? Thanks in advance.

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
