InstallerDisks

This folder in InstaDMG is not documented. What is its intended/proper use?

Hey there,

Good question! It isn’t documented in the pdf released with 1.5b either. The reasoning behind it may come into play if you wanted to override the default OS installer location, /InstallerFiles/BaseOS. The -I option for specifying the path to the base OS image and the -J option to mount a DMG as needed are probably what that folder may be reserved for. If anyone else has a better take on it, please chime in. Thanks,

Allister

Actually it is there because I am planning a change in how the installer disks work, and put the first part of it in place (the importDisk.py program if you don’t use the –legacy switch), but have not yet put the changes into InstaDMG to deal with it (other than manually with the -I switch). That is going to take a while, especially since I am going to be gone most of the month of May.
