Well, Josh and the gang at AFP548 put up an article yesterday on how to get
the hardware specific Lion install for your machines.

Glad someone figured this out fairly quickly.

I noticed this myself but thought I was wrong.

So forked images all the way eh?

I made a feature request awhile ago so that packages can also have the option to only install if model matches (think similar to processor type).

Would be very handy.

Let's hope not!

I think that even for Apple this would be too much of a support burden.

A good idea. The implementation could be similar to the PowerPC vs. Intel
processor option in Casper Admin.

Yep that's what I meant to say.

All the information is there as processor etc is taken from a system profiler report.
