I am installing six Debian/etch machines -- m1, m2, ..., m6 -- from a
golden copy on m0.

As expected, each of the lab machines has 'm0' in its /etc/hosts and
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf files (maybe others as well?).

Is this an example of when we should use a "post install" script in
/var/lib/systemimager/scripts/post-install?

What would I use to gain access to each of the installed host names
within my install script?  Something in /tmp/post-install/variables.txt?
Maybe $HOSTNAME?

Another question: does each client grab that script off the "image
server" during installation?  So I could debug such "post
install" scripts by simply rebooting off of the install CD-ROM?
(i.e., I don't need to make another "image"?)


Any help on this -- including possible sample scripts -- would be
*most* appreciated!

Thanks,
--
