it's not just package post stuff here, i'm looking at run-postinsts to do a *lot* of subsequent setup of the target system -- effectively downloading and installing the entire proprietary application. yes, i realize i could just make that app part of the initial image, but there are reasons for this. so i'm assuming just manually installing and running some scripts via run-postinsts is the way to go. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
