The late_command will not per default download the *.sh file.The preseed/run part is documented in chapter B.5.3 "Chainloading of preconfiguration files": https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs05.html So I guess this not a functionality to be executed at the end of installation, it only makes sense somewhere at the beginning.
Thank you for this, I guess you are refering to: " # Most flexibly of all, this downloads a program and runs it. The program # can use commands such as debconf-set to manipulate the debconf database. # More than one script can be listed, separated by spaces. # Note that if the filenames are relative, they are taken from the same # directory as the preconfiguration file that runs them. #d-i preseed/run string foo.sh" In the description text, to me at least, it is not clear at what stage this command is executed!!! :) Having played a bit more, I can confirm that this command is not executed at the end of the installation process. While I was looking to understand what was going on, I came across (1) and this is where Ubuntu differs from Debian: "on a web server. In this example, if the preseed file sets preseed/run to /scripts/late_command.sh then the file will be fetched from http://autoserver.example.com/d-i/focal/./scripts/late_command.sh."; I would love to see a rewording of the above text which would clearly state at what time the command is executed!!! :) I realy appreciate your help. 1) https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/s390x/apbs02.html -- John Doe
