InstaDMG Script Suggestions

One suggestion and two contributions:

Suggestion: Make sure the whatis database is up to date. Without it, InstaDMG fails with the following error:

/Volumes/Data/instadmg-rmlcll-revision.bash: line 369: +%y-%m-%d: command not found
/Volumes/Data/instadmg-rmlcll-revision.bash: line 424: Error Encountered in Defining Variables and command sets: command not found

#1. Including Installer Choice Changes support in InstaDMG

Added before the “END USER CONFIGURATION”:

# Use OS Choice Changes - values 1=yes, 0=no
	OS_USE_CHOICE_CHANGES=1
# OS Choice Changes XML file location
	OS_CHOICE_CHANGES_XML_FILE=$WORKING_VOLUME/Leopard_Choices.xml

Added inside install_system_new(), before “# for more detailed logs”:

# Assemble the Choice Changes
	if [ $OS_USE_CHOICE_CHANGES -eq 1 ]; then
		CHOICE_CHANGES="-applyChoiceChangesXML $OS_CHOICE_CHANGES_XML_FILE"
	else
		CHOICE_CHANGES=""
	fi

Added inside install_system_new(), in both the verbose and non-verbose portions, after “-target $CURRENT_IMAGE_MOUNT \”:

$CHOICE_CHANGES \

#2. Logfile Typo

From:

$ECHO "Error Encountered in Defining Variables and command sets" >> $LOGFILE

to:

$ECHO "Error Encountered in Defining Variables and command sets" >> $LOG_FILE

Thanks!
