Hello:
I'm pretty new to this Debian live tool, so please forgive me if I leave out important info or am not posing my question clearly enough...
Anyway, my script is using live build to create a user and I would like to copy some files from a directory defined by an environment variable to a directory in the newly-created user's home directory. I have figured I'd do this in a script suffixed with '.chroot' in the config/hooks directory. The script I am running is run with sudo. I use the "-E" argument in sudo to preserve the shell environment I have. So what I'd like to do in my chroot hook script is this:
cp -R $MY_DIR/files /home/<new_user>/.
As it is
right now, MY_DIR is undefined as an environment variable when the script is run. How can I best accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thanks in advance,
B. Rintoul
