Thanks for your comments Dave. I initially wanted to work things this way but had a lot of trouble with scripted builds, particularly with scripting the custom configurations. There's not a lot of in depth documentation about preseeding that I could find. I was trying to get base-config/early_command, base-config/late_command and preseed/late_command to download and run a customisation script but didn't manage to tame it. Seemed to be a problem with the sub-shell being killed off? If you have any sources on this I'd love to see them. Thanks for your thoughts. -- Simon Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
