Charles, My latest patch (attached) provides a bunch more features for installing in virtualized environments. You can also download it at this URL: http://opensource.exmeritus.com/debian-ami/network-console-1.29+euca01.patch Specifically, my patch allows you enable both password and public-key auth, by preseeding both a password and the authorized_keys URL. If you don't want to enable password authentication, you can preseed "password-disabled" instead. Additionally, I add a "publi-ip-url" key which causes the "IP" value in the network-console message to be obtained from the virtualized hosting system. Finally, I rewrite the post-base-installer hook to automatically copy the authorized_keys file to the newly created user on the target system. If a non-root user was created during the installation then the key is copied to that user, otherwise it is copied to root. Cheers, Kyle Moffett
