Hi All<br><br>I am seeking some advice as a novice in the XO space.<br><br>I would like to run a shell script (to do some configuration changes and install some additional packages) when an XO is started with a USB memory stick installed with the script on board.<br>
<br>The idea is that users in the field can be given a USB stick containing the latest release which they can instal in the normal manner, then at a subsequent boot up, the script on the USB will run and configure the XO to just the way we want it.<br>
<br>The idea is that this will provide a simple way to do upgrades and reconfiguration in the field.<br>At present we have to ask users to start up a terminal session and run the script from the command line.<br>This works just fine to set up the XO, but we would like to remove the need for the terminal session for obvious reasons.<br>
<br>My question is whether there is a simple way to do this already built in to the system.<br><br>I am aware of the recent discussion around using the Forth file at start up, but I don't think that will work for what I want as the operating system needs to be up to do the package installs etc that we want.<br>
<br>Any suggestions appreciated.<br><br>Terry<br>
