Modify the list of packages on the DVD?
Can you add installer packages to the standard OS install? For example, can you add the Developer Tools packages in such a way that they become part of the standard install?

I can't get it to work at all. I always get the "over max size allowed" error. I even put it all the way down to 1gig and it would still error.

i did this when i hacked the Puma updater, but i had to make room on the CD for the dev tools, i dumped printer drivers and localizations. after that i had room for a few other pkg based installers, like the most recent version of iTunes and i believe i had iPhoto on it too.

ok, after doing some more poking around, it looks like it is the same plist as the one mentioned in the hint - they changed the meta package structure a bit since puma (i'm not surprised, they needed to support multi disk installs)

ok, there are 2 more plist files i edited for completeness.

To complete some things the above poster didn't explicitly state, be sure to update OSInstallCache.plist and Developer.mpkg/Contents/Info.plist to change:
to:
Also, the CHUD Tools package seems to check for an OS on the target volume and therefore won't install with a fresh OS. To "fix" this, just remove or rename CHUD.pkg/Contents/Resources/VolumeCheck. I'm also interested in adding updates to this image, I'll try to post any further steps or infomation as I come across it. Time to order some DVD-RWs (and maybe even a faster SuperDrive...)

i added the 10.3.2 update, XCode 1.1 update and iTunes 4.2 to my disk. there are a few other version checkers i had to remove, in order for it to want to install. iTunes 4.2 is still giving me problems because even though it's an mpkg it's formatted completely different from the way any of the other mpkg's are formatted. course this was 3 AM by the time i got hung up on iTunes so i STILL haven't burned a disk to try it out.

Ok, it sounds like your doing an awful lot of work and that it is SERIUSLY useful work. any chance you can, when your done (or at a stable point) write it all up in one hint/forum post/email and tell us which files you edited ho to include what and make it all work?

With BootCD you could make boot DVD.

I've done standalone boot CDs for OSX, OS9, Linux(PPC & X86), Win 98 & XP. With the right config and apps installed, you can do almost anything (expecially system backups). It takes time to achieve perfection though. Always keep a previous version of your image and make one change at a time. You can go back to the old version if you go beyond the point of no return and find out what you did wrong. Burn to CDRW / DVDRW until you get a version that works. I used an application called 'boot cd' from http://www.charlessoft.com to do OS X. Although it ran on G4, G3 & Imac, it froze on an xserve but couldn't afford the downtime to examine why. |
