Skip DVD Install/Setup on Panther 10.3.2 preload
Authored by: mrfoxxman on Jul 26, '04 01:23:06AM

Actually when the machine boots it looks for an invisible file stored in the [code]/var/db/[/code] folder on your hard drive named ".AppleSetupDone"... If that file is there the machine will not run the setup assistant, if not present however it will run the setup assistant.

[Dont believe me? - remove it and reboot the machine. If you get stuck you can always boot to Single User mode and type the following command: [code]touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone[/code]
