modifications.
6. Delete /Users/Joe/Library/LaunchAgents
7. Set Owner = Œroot' and Group = 'wheel', apply Owner & Group to
'/Applications/Adobe Reader 9' and All Enclosed Items

Within Casper Admin
- enabled fill user templates and fill existing home directories.
- requires 10.4.11,10.5.x,10.6.x
- Install only if x86

I've only tested this with our Snow Leopard image. The application works
with local admin and standard accounts.
