Hi-

When you index a package, does it do it with the server's resources or are you processing it locally on the machine you're admining from? I imagine I'd like to utilize the quad-core Xeon in my Xserve instead of my MacBook Pro...

Thanks

The local box you are running Casper Admin from.

I'm not sure if it has been fixed, but there was a bug that broke indexing from a 10.5 box. I tried several times, and then when I'd uninstall a package that I indexed, the system it was uninstalled from would go into a constant reboot cycle. I think some system files were getting deleted.

Be sure you test this before you deploy!

I believe this was fixed under v6.
