Good advice for preseeding the debian-installer
If you use a script to do some customisations run via
preseed/late_command then don't do it the following way:
d-i preseed/late_command string cp /hd-media/do-tib-stuff.sh
/target/tmp ; in-target /tmp/do-tib-stuff.sh ; rm
/target/tp/do-mystuff.sh!
That way you'll never notice, if your script run successfully as its exit
code is eaten by the removal. When running several late-commands always
use && to chain the commands, so if one command fails the
processing will stop and the installer will show you a nice message that
indeed something went wrong.
