    How to add extra packages to Ubuntu install CD using kickstart

    Hai,
    I used kickstart to automate Ubuntu12.04 alternate iso installation. I am able to automate the installation. Now I want to install some extra packages such as teamviewer during OS installation. But the problem is that it cannot be installed online. I want to add these packages to install CD and install those packages during installation itself.

    Does anyone know how to do this?Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hai,
    Thank you for the reply.
    But, I've already referred this link and was unable to find a solution for my problem.
    My packages cannot be installed using apt-get(example:if I want to install Teamviewer, I've to download it manually and then install it using dpkg). I like to add the package to install CD (if possible) and install it during or after OS installation.

    Hi,

    You can execute scripts after the installation on the "postinstall" section of the kickstart file:

    %post

    echo "Now performing post-KickStart installation tasks"

    Regards,
