Want to pick the brains of people that use restore partition and see how
they go about upgrading Casper. I've setup restore partition to login
automatically and Casper is a login item. I'm wondering how easy it would be
to upgrade Casper from 5.13 to Casper Imaging 6.x and have it start at login
on machines that are currently in production.
Thanx for your input,

+21Someone may already have this done, but the basics of it are going to be:
Unhide the Restore partition Remove the Casper application Install the Casper Imaging application (because the name changed with 6.x) Then somehow modify the file that dictates the auto logon users launch items
I don't actually do it this way, we typically just push out a whole new patched and updated Restore partition in the background with the following Perl script while the production side is running...even if users are logged on you could:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
`/usr/sbin/diskutil mountDisk disk0`;
`/usr/sbin/asr restore -source http://your.jss.com/restorex.dmg -target /Volumes/Restore -erase -noprompt -noverify`;
`/usr/sbin/diskutil force unmount /Volumes/Restore`;
Haven't used it in a while, but I assume it still works.
