I’m new to InstaDMG and am currently working on a system image that can be used in a large computer lab. I want to include Firefox 5.0 in the system image; however, I would like to have the “Automatically download and install the update” button to be deselected by default upon a fresh install. Is there a way I can automate this process with InstaDMG? I suspect there is a file somewhere in Library > Preferences that gets updated when I enable/disable automatic updates in Firefox > Preferences, but I haven’t been able to find anything helpful. If there were such a file, I would imagine automating the process would simply be a matter of including the file in a package, and then processing that with InstaDMG.
I know some of you are going through the same process of building a system image right now and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Not anything inherent in InstaDMG, no. However, there is a way using the Client Customization Toolkit (CCK).
