if you have a need to post files (copy extra files ) inside shell scripts (for instance when you use simple-cdd ) you can use real cool gnu tools :
uuencode uudecode Reading there man files and googling abit gave me the next : this will compress the directory contents , and create a script that will extract the archive. cd archive tar cvvf somearachive.tar * echo 'uudecode -o- << "EOF" | tar xvv ' >../shellscript uuencode configuration.tar configuration.tar >> ../shellscript so if you send this script he can extract it . just for fun you can do : cat shellscript >> profiles/profilename.postinst and this will extract this archive inside the new target debian installation cd. I know my english is bad but hey , after googling several hours for a solution how to add extra files into simple-cdd installation. I got the idea that there more people that could google for it (and not so many know Hebrew) I posted this also at : " http://bsh83.blogspot.com/2008/07/adding-file-to-simple-cdd-installation.html "
