Thank you for all your help? Hack to the master script 'parted' section got past the problem (hack included below). Now the master script dies at the line: chroot /a/ systemconfigurator --excludesto=/etc/systemimager/systemconfig.local.exclude --configsi --stdin << EOL || shellout with the error: chroot: cannot execute systemconfigurator: Exec format error Was systemconfigurator a required dependent package on the client? Is there a way past this one? Should I start a new thread? All the files are in /a/, but I can't make a chroot work. ############################## # Hacked partitioning second ############################## echo "Creating partition /dev/sda1."
