I guess the problem with this approach is I need to take the custom pkg out of the package_config list, since I will be installing it from a hook. But then the pkg will no longer be pulled into the mirror on my CD. How do you get a package or any file onto an fai-cd without having it be handled by install_packages? <br>

</div></div>There's a unpack feature in install_packages, that downloads and<br>
unpacks but does not configure a package. I guess this would also fail<br>
if there are conflicting files or packages. I think the easiest way is<br>
to write a hook, which calls<br>
<br>
aptitude -o Dpkg::force-overwrite=yes install <package name><br>
<br>
I hope this works.<br>
