That did not work. The gpg key was there, but it was missing within the chroot within /target Looks to me as if the keys get installed via the "debian-archive-keyring" package. Therefore, the package would have to be modified.

If you need to use your own pkgs, the following URL might help you: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/NetbootInstall That is, include your gpg key in initrd.gz. -- John Doe
