Also not an expert... The preinstall isn't in a chroot'd environment, meaning that /etc/ssh isn't the location of the original ssh keys (I think that the original system is mounted as /mnt/sysimage [or something similar]). You can also add a flag to get a postscript executed in a non'chrooted environment. I think the parameter is something like --no-chroot Hope this helps David Aikema Quoting "Alexander P.
