InstaDMG customizations?

[jstrauss]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is redundant, but I’ve searched the boards and couldn’t find a clear answer (watch someone link). I’m wondering how to create an InstaDMG image but remove the welcome/registration screens and, once turned on, immediately display a login screen. I’ve got pretty much everything else down: creating users, applying updates, etc. I’m just stuck on this one area.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Someone appears to have made exactly what you need:

It’s called “clearReg.pk”

I’m rather hoping its going to work as I intend to use it to very shortly.

I don’t build our packages with InstaDMG directly, but the process has many parallels, and I can attest, the clearReg.pkg works like a charm. If you look in the guts of it, it’s actually remarkably simple – Apple won’t run the screens if there are a couple empty files sittin’ on the system, more or less. Gotta love sweet simplicity. As a side note (since this is how we use it) this also works GREAT as a bundled pkg in a NetInstall image made from the OS installer.
