You have two choices:
1) Don't upgrade and wait 6 months for this stuff to work the way you want.
2) Use shell scripts, they will work in the menu right now.

We're buying about 5-10 MacBooks per month. Where are we going to get MacBooks that haven't been upgraded (I'll bet the next batch has Leopard)? I guess we'll have to do some kind of shell script thing, but from what I'm reading the Leopard X11 still

Until the next revision is made to the MacBook you could install 10.4.10 without any problems since it is currently supported. Of course once new hardware comes out this won't be an option.

The rumors were that they were supposed to come out with new MacBooks today. :)


I assume you don't deploy a common system image out to your machines? That would help with managing your customizations; even if just for the original imaging since it sounds like they are offsite most of their life. I'm happy to provide more info on what I do here for my image management.

We try to, but all of our software changes so fast (i.e. we're such lousy programmers that we have to keep fixing bugs :), and then Solaris comes out with a new update, Linux comes out with a new update a couple of times a year, then Apple does THIS (some of our stuff has to run everywhere -- that's why we're sliding towards Python/Tkinter as much as possible), etc. Microsoft takes forever between updates, so that's a good thing. ;). We have guys that are trying to keep on top of all of the changes, so we'll see what is going to happen. If one of them looks like he's going to go postal I'll give you a yell. :)

Just a quick plug for Radmind: yeah its pretty hard to get going at first, there is a pretty steep learning curve; but once its going updates are extremely easy to create and very quick to deploy. <http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/radmind/ >
