Thanks. I thought I will run a script on the container startup which will do 
the install and other steps... Hopefully the hooks will allow me to do so.

If I want to do something like that (i.e. when bootstrapping custom linux 
system as LXC guest), I just chroot into newly-created container root and do 
the "apt-get install ...".

This method uses host's network connection, but it requires container's 
/etc/resolv.conf correctly configured. Also, if you are using subuid/gids, pay 
attention when you do this procedure (generally before uidmapshift step).

Hi,

Is there a way to install packages (like bridge utils etc) on some template 
like ubuntu while creating it via lxc-create? I read somewhere about --packages 
command but don't seem to find it anywhere. I want to create a container and 
install packages on it via a script without manually having to login to the 
container.

Thanks
Anjali
