Package: installation-guide
Severity: normal


Appendix B.2.1 covers ways to load the preseed configuration file.
Bug #509723 (resolved) added the ability to load over the network via TFTP,
instead of just via HTTP.  This should be added to the documentation.

preseed/url=tftp://host/path/to/preseed.cfg
Host may be an IP address or a name (the ability for it to be a name is notable
because not all TFTP clients support name resolution).

This does not apply to lenny (current stable), at least for i386, but it does
apply to squeeze (current testing).

preseed/url might also support other schemes; I'm not sure how to check that.

This has been fixed in the meantime.

Thus closing this bug.
