Thats exactly what I did and it worked like a charm. I have actually never used package maker before and not very familiar with UUID and Hash files so it took me a bit of googling and testing to get things up and running.

I have to say I am really loving InstaDMG. I was able to create a base leopard image with Office 2008 and the customized instauser 10_5 script in just a hair over an hour. So far it has worked on the Macbook Pro, Macbook, iMac, and Mac Pro without any issues. We get our Macbook Air’s in a couple weeks so that should be fun. I ran across this article [url]http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/netbooting-macbook-air/[/url] so that sounds promising.

Now I just gotta look into the best way to package apps. I have had the unfortunate opportunity to package apps for XP using Wise so I am hoping this is a bit easier to work with. I heard Iceberg is a decent app to work with so I will check that out.

Thanks again for all the help guys! This has made my life a heck of a lot easier.:)

Just a quick follow up. I was able to replicate the issue again and I think I narrowed down what I did to make this happen. During my first couple attempts at creating an image I had opened the ASROutput folder in details mode so I could see the file size change in order to verify that the image was being created. After the image was almost complete, finder would freeze. I went back and ran instadmg again, this time without the ASROutput folder open in finder and it worked like a charm. When I tried it one more time with the ASROutput folder open it froze up again as I had expected. I doubt anyone else has seen this issue as there really is no reason to have the ASRoutput folder open but just thought I would post this in case there is another newbie here that has been having troubles.

Now I gotta figure out how to get the Instauser package working. There is a lot of useful info here in the forums I just gotta figure out how to connect the dots.

Thanks again.

Well it looks like the third time is the charm. The only thing I did different this time was to not open the console to view the log updates and made sure all finder windows were closed. Just for giggles I am going to try to replicate the issue again later today.

I appreciate your help! InstaDMG is great!
