+18Has anybody figured out how to get Language Chooser to run at first boot?
if I make my image from a Install OS X.app it seems to assume that since i ran that App in English that is the language I will want everybody to use, and well my customers tend to be Global.
I can make it run, but it runs on top of setup assistant and well its ugly and can be problematic if people start clicking on setup assistant before language chooser appears.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
+18Well I guess in case anybody else ever cares about this.
the answer is:
touch /private/var/db/.RunLanguageChooserToo
and yes i spelled that correctly.
+26nessts, could you elaborate a bit more how you are using this and what the deployment looks like?
+18I make a base image from the Install OS x.app, to a blank disk, then i let it reboot and do its install thing.
then when it goes to boot the first time, i netboot it and make an image of that disk, its similar to what instaDMG does, i just do it on a physical disk, i also capture the recovery partition as well.
in this mode the first boot does not ask for language because its assuming since i used english when i ran the installer i must always want to use English.
my images are global i have users in many countries so its preferable for the users to get to choose what language the computer is in.
touching that file allows Language Chooser to run as it would if the system came from the factory.
