I'm doing a customized Squeeze install, and have a lot of problems with the d-i preseed/late_command. For starters, it seems like you can only have one of these in your preseed.cfg; is that true? Or is it only true if one is using "in-target" as well in the late_command?
Mostly, I'm trying to do a set of system configuration tasks not handled by debconf before the first boot: things like changing the hostname (d-i doesn't retain this information properly; it's a known bug), settings up ssh options, and modifying various /etc files. I have about 15 commands I'm trying to run; I've tried setting them as multiple late commands, as well as trying to build a single executable in /target/tmp with echo statements that gets executed with the in-target keyword. My success is, to say the least, mixed. I've googled around a lot, but the information on d-i is pretty sparse in regards to the limitations of preseed/late_command. Can anyone point me to some in-depth examples of how to perform some complex post-install but pre-reboot administration tasks with it?
