I think support for this already exists in multistrap: setupscript=/path/to/setup.sh setupscript is run after the packages have been unpacked but before any configuration is done. It is passed the architecture being processed and the directory where it is operating. From the manpage/POD: Once multistrap has unpacked the downloaded packages, the setup.sh can be called, passing the location and architecture of the root filesystem, so that other fine tuning can take place. At this stage, any operations inside the rootfs must not try to execute any binaries within the rootfs. I'll update that section to make the warning conditional on the rootfs not being a native one. > Nik Lutz, a co-worker of mine, prepared a patch which i've > successfully tested.

Let me know if there is a problem with the setupsh support but it would seem to operate in the same manner. The patch method precludes / hides allowing non-native to use the same support by handling the preseeding in the configsh. setupsh and configsh are hangovers from the previous emdebian-rootfs package but can still be useful. The patch also looks like it tries to assert that every multistrap config file has to be modified to add a blank line. That's simply not going to fly. All options like this have to be entirely optional - including the line simply not existing. On a sidenote, system cp and system cat look a lot like shell rather than perl. The bug should stay open even if setupsh works - that allows the documentation to be updated. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
