Severity: minor


In the new section about preseeding ntp functionality 
(../appendix/preseed.xml) the given server example is
"ntp.example.com", which is not an valid ntp-server.

I recommend to change to "1.debian.pool.ntp.org" or 
similar.




Kind regards
Holger

This was discussed on IRC and we decided on ntp.example.com because in 
principle this should only be used if a user wants to use a specific 
_local_ NTP server instead of a generic NTP server.

The default will already use a generic NTP server (0.debian.pool.ntp.org), 
so this value should not be preseeded if the default setting is good 
enough. Giving a generic NTP server as example kind of defeats that.

We should certainly not give a non *.debian.pool.ntp.org server as example 
as that goes against the NTP usage policy for distributions.
