1.4b4 base updates and custom pkgs not installing properly

[dagger2b]

I have tried this twice now and both times my packages fail to install while writing the receipt.

I am using instadmg1.4b4 using an OEM 10.5.4 iMac DVD. The OS installs, the cache image is created, and 10.5.5 combo update is successful. After that *nearly* all other packages fail. Here is an example from the log

installer: The software was successfully installed..... 
		installer: The install was successful. 
	Base OS installed
	Compacting and saving cached image to: ./Caches/BaseImageCache/C81A26C2:d3b008d00135a84613ad2b80737c8c03b2feca7b.dmg
		"disk5" unmounted. 
		"disk5" ejected. 
	Remounting the image with a shadow file (/tmp/instaDMGTemp.dCYSeu.sparseimage)
		/dev/disk5          	GUID_partition_scheme 
		/dev/disk5s1        	EFI 
		/dev/disk5s2        	Apple_HFS                      	/tmp/instaDMGMount.qCSfMH

Any body have any ideas? Has anyone else tried 1.4b4 with 10.5.5 combo update?

Duh moment here. Just moved everything out to a file server. Since packages don’t like to be installed over the network, I am going to wrap them up in dmgs and try again.

1.4b4 is able to use dmg files now correct?
