Hi, Forgive me if this is the most common question
I have already successfully preseeded and heavily customized the alternate cd, and am proficient in creating livecd environments. I am now interested in customizing the 9.10 netbook remix Ubiquity-based installer to be able to a) add a non-dependent package from the main repo, b) add my own package into an extras repo, c) add some files into /etc/skel that will be present upon reboot, and d) add a script to /usr/local/bin visible upon reboot. So far, the various methods and countless hours and research have not been fruitful. Here is a high level overview of steps taken: Package install: -Tried to add a pkgsel line to preseed to add "editmoin" a random, nondependent app in the main repo ---> does not install. -Successfully generated my own key and signed a new Release file and put the generated deb's in the main repo on the cd ---> get apt configure failed error at 80%. viewing casper.log after first boot does complain about my public key not being available. I have signed and resigned, cleared directories first, you name it. Does this affect the main repo in turn not being accessible for that example "editmoin" app i tried to preseed? Post-install script: -Tried to use a simple one in preseed (same working approach/syntax used in alternate cd instance) that just creates a dir, chmod +x is on the file and #!/bin/sh is at the top: Does not create directory as noticed after first boot. -Went into the unsquashed live fs's /usr/lib/ubiquity dir and added a "50runscript" file (chmod +x) file in /target-config that does the same thing and the directory is not created upon install. I figure i could just create the files through scripts in /target-config or some place like that if ubiquity is not going to apply the preseed file as desired. NO GO :( Why is this not working for me in Ubiquity when i can get Alternate CD and the Live CD going without a hitch?? Thanks in advance, Chris
