Hi Ravi, I don't think you have to worry. These commands are confined to the temporary mount point used for the BE during the install phase, so they won't affect your running system (which is sort of the point of using beinstall instead of doing it the "traditional" way). I haven't had a chance yet to test it, but I would expect it works fine. Very minor nit: I'd distinguish the "pre" phase from the post in the error message. Thanks for looking into this. --Will.
