I find lots of sites mentioning that Instadmg supports Lion Server. And I see that there is a catalog file for Lion Server. But, I’ve found no discussion on how to actually get it to work.
Since the catalog files support comments, in addition to replying here, I’d suggest that some supporting comments be added to the server catalog file answering these and perhaps other appropriate points.
What does one use for the OS installer source to create a never booted Lion Server image? The AppStore downloaded InstallESD.dmg installers all seem to be for client, not server. And nothing in the catalog seems to add Server.app.
I know that if one has purchased a Mac with Server preinstalled by Apple, that the Recovery Partition will download a special installer including server. But this requires one to have a machine so purchased. And it is also tricky as the installer wants to delete itself after installing.
To get this to work, does one need to run instadmg on Lion Server, or can it be run on Lion Client?
Thanks in advance for any help.
