It's a corner case that is unlikely to meet the needs of more than a handful of users. Are you trying to use this authentication to operate the installer or simply to configure in the installed image automatically? If you simply need to configure the system after install (e.g. you could use a DVD image to provide the packages to install and setup the network mirror later) then it should be easy to create a script/package which does this step once the system is fully/mostly installed. One other way to do this would be to do a secondary install - deploy the system with a ramdisk or NFS or similar which would be able to make the network connection and then do a manual install onto the media, e.g. using debootstrap. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
