Preseed command to copy a file to /root directory

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – I was hoping to edit the command below to copy a file "start.bin" from the install cd to /root on the installation machine. Code: d-i    preseed/late_command string \   wget -O /target/root/start.bin 'http://abc.start.bin' \   && in-target chmod 755 /root/start.bin \ My best guess is it would be something like... Code: d-i    preseed/late_command string \   cp start.bin \ && in-target chmod 755 /root/start.bin \ This is probably very simple, but as a newb to Linux it seems daunting. Thank you in advance for any he (HowTos)
