10.4: Create a Tiger image for cloned Net Installs
Authored by: jyu on Jul 06, '05 10:55:03AM

To make those files/folders invisible again, you can just copy the .hidden file from a 10.3 system and put it in the root folder of your restored 10.4 system, or in your NetInstall image -- but I haven't tried this way.

The .hidden file specifies a list of files/folders that should be invisible in GUI. The file privileges are root:wheel 444.

Are you sure about this - I thought that Apple removed the functionality of the .hidden file in 10.4, preferring to use file attributes instead.

No, .hidden doesn't work under Tiger anymore.
