You might want to try this: d-i preseed/late_command string preseed-fetch late_command.sh /target/root/late_command.sh && in-target 'sh /root/late_command.sh' preseed-fetch has the advantage that it gets stuff from wherever you got the preseed files, so you can write scripts that are portable from a preseed setup on your web server, to a copy of the same on an USB stick, say. The use of sh id just to make it more concise than doing the chmod, but that's just a personal preference. Have a look at http://hands.com/d-i/ for more examples of preseed-fetch, and lots of scripting stuff.
