I hate to ask for help me with this problem (again)
But could someone give me an idea of what a script that would do the
following would look like, as i am new to Apple Scripting, and dont know
anything about it other than very basic stuff.
1. Launch when i boot off the CD
2. Bring up a Window that would let you choose a disk to erase.
3. Erase that Disk and then Rename the Selected Disk,
4. Lanch the Apple Software Restore program and bring me up to the first
window of the installer where i could choose the options for restoration.
5. Would Start the Installation process and then change the startup disk to
the one what was just installed and reboot the system into that operating
system.
If some one (or several different people) could help me out with this, i
would really appreciate it, and will mention your names will be mentioned
when i get the final copy done and finished and start writing up the
documents for it.
This Script should also work with Localized Versions of the Operating
Systems and it needs to support Mac OS 8.1 - 9.1
(OS X is going to be a different beast)
And i will try to help out with Any Networking issues for Making Mac/Windows
Hetrogernious Networks work seamlessly (Or anything else that i can give
advice on..I have some pretty darn good Macintosh Resources that i can pick
the brains on as well)
