I am planning on shipping Linux boxen with Debian preinstalled. When the customer unpacks the box and fires it up, what is the best way to allow him to reconfigure the sorts of things that one normally configures as part of an install:
* Hostname * IP addressing info * Passwords * User accounts * SSH key generation * ... Doing a dpkg --configure <pkgname> won't work because the packages have already been configured. I assume most the stuff above is handled by postinst scripts that aren't even around anywhere after the packages have been installed and configured? It seems a shame to write something using newt or whatever that just duplicates the various postinst scripts... -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
