Hmm, Disregard 🙂

Gave my host Mac a reboot, and things seem to be working fine now. *shrugs*

Okay, so I’ve updated to a clean checkout of revision 423, imported a fresh retail 10.6.3 DVD, and have attempted to run it with the instructions in the readme (10.6_vanilla), here’s the output from beginning, to the eventual failure:

[code]
sudo ./instadmg-read-only/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py 10.6_vanilla –process

I’ll give 423 a shot.

I’m seeing the error of being unable to find the installer disc, even with the 10.6.3 retail disk (both the grey 10.6.6 disk and the 10.6.3 retail disk were recently imported with a fresh copy of instadmg).

Have you tried just dropping the iLife installer pkg into your instaDMG build train?

I haven’t gotten my hands on ’11 yet, but I’ve had success building images with the straight-up installer package from the DVD in ’09.

Quick question here: is there a string for InstallerChoices.xml that I can use to 1) Set the date & time to sync over the network, 2) enable the root account?

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Allister[/u][p]Hey there,
Additionally, iWork09 would be in a numbered folder in CustomPKGs if you’re calling instadmg manually, or InstaUp2DatePackages if called via instaup2date.py with the –process flag.

Hi Allister,

Could you clarify a bit here? Running instadmg.bash, my custom packages need to be in CustomPKG in 01, 02 , 03, etc subfolders in the order I want them installed. If I’m running instaUp2Date.py with –process, my custom packages need to be in InstaUp2DatePackages –> with or without the numbered subfolders in order to be installed?

[snk]

Thought I had replied before, but it’s no longer here for some reason….

Anywho, thanks for clarifying Allister. I’ve created images now with both instaUp2Date as well as just plain instadmg, and I’ve got both producing booting images. My current scenario is creating images on a Macbook with instadmg, and deploying to an external hard drive. Things seem to be running smoothly (Patched 10.6.3).
