Nevermind. After further investigation I see that you have defined a couple of things as variables and the $ prefaces those variables……Im getting there

Walt,
I have been experimenting with your script and trying to understand things. Some of your commands have a $ in front of them, what does this do? When I inserted my networksetup command with the $ it failed with command not found, without the $ it works fine.

Walt,

This is a huge help thanks for sharing this info.

I have a pretty good handle on most things and am not shy of the command line but I have never written shell scripts so this new concept is taking me some time to absorb.

Thanks again

Troy

Thanks for the detailed response larkost.

So are you saying that moving forward (10.6+) packaged scripts are not going to work? Or just my exampe with the network setup command?

I am really trying to get my head around the InstaDMG workflow becasue I feel its a better way to image but so far I am struggling with all the customization that needs to happen. If I am getting stuck on adding the wireless network who knows what I am in for when I get to the adding it to my OD domain.

The machine I was originally using to test the process is a MacBook Pro with 10.6.2. I copied everything to a G5 iMac running 10.5.8 and it seems to work as expected…..although it took 6 hours to build a simple 10.5.4 image with clearreg and createuser scripts.

So am I too understand that if I want to build a 10.5 image I need to do it from a 10.5 machine? and a 10.6 image I need a 10.6 machine?
