Hello all,
As part of a restructuring exercise we are trying to use .pkg
installers with Casper if the software is distributed in that format.
This is a departure from making .dmg packages for each application no
matter what format the software originally was in. This plan has
worked well so far but I'm having problems with the latest versions
of iLife & iWork.
I have simply taken the root .mpkg installer in both cases and added
it to the Packages folder. However Casper will not install the
software correctly. When the Mac is netbooted and diskless then
copying the package to /tmp uses all the available disk space. The
install then fails and the Mac complains with a disk full alert.
When the iLife package is broken apart into the individual apps then
command line installation fails with a message along the lines of
"You must use the main installer and choose custom install in install
individual apps".
Has anybody got around this problem?
Thanks,
James
