I want to create a customised OSX Installer that I can use with Casper imaging to get a really clean install of OSX onto each mac. My workflow would be to get the latest point release, use CreateOSXInstallPKG to bundle it with a couple of packages and roll it out using Casper Imaging. Is it the case that this method can only be used to upgrade a mac to a newer operating system as opposed to installing on a formatted disk? How would I use Casper Imaging to get this pkg to install against a blank hard disk?

Using CreateOSXInstallPKG Scenario (not an in place upgrade)

"install the pkg telling it to make the target volume bootable and restart"
What does this mean? Just install the pkg and restart. Do not bless the volume or make any other changes. Installing the pkg sets the volume up in a very specific way so that the OS X installer will run at reboot. Any workflow step that attempts to bless the volume or "make it bootable" will break that configuration.
