Ok, one last question 🙂
That will leave the system mint? As in, the root user password will not be remembered and everything will be “factory fresh”?
Thank you.
We often have customers who buy machines and want upgrades and software… so while we upgrade the drive and or ram… or they just want us to install their software, we normally want to leave the entire “Welcome to Mac” experience in tact for the customer.
I would never stray from any EULA… so normally when we upgrade hard drives on new machines (which is quite often), they need their whole OS installed and iLife 08/09 (mostly 09 now). I would just like to have a few external drives with the installers to be able to send the customer home with everything they have purchased, but no user account. We do clone the hard drive on many occasions to the new drive, but when it comes to that “additional” software, it becomes a pain. And if a tech or sales person has misspelled a shortname, you know what kind of hassle that can be (they are human).
I’d love to give them a machine that has all of the latest software updates and whatever software they purchased… they can bother with entering in any serial #’s (unless that’s possible with InstaDMG).
Thank you.
