Perhaps more easy than performing various installations: just
compare (using lsbom) the files installed by the packages included
on an installation CD.
They should be located in
/InstallCDname/System/Installation/Packages/, where you change
InstallCDname as needed.
PS: But again, your initial problem isn't totally clear to me (see
my previous post).
Could you exactly explain what you are trying to do?
+-
I write (a) software package for sale, distributed like shareware.
The old stuff has been Mac OS 8.6-9.2+classic, but the new will of
course be OS X. It is important to know what OS requirements I put
for running the package. The applescript package will of course use
some do shell script, and if I am careful, the user does not need to
have BSD installed.
Most people have BSD (since it is the standard install), but I
will anyway need to state what the user needs to have installed. As
an example: if I use perl only, then BSD is not needed, but if I use
python, then he needs to have BSD installed and I need to say that in
the system requirements. Of course, I could list all commands that I
issue and that are needed to be installed, but such info is complete
nonsense to most people. People do, however, usually know if he did a
simple install of Mac OS X, or if he insisted on a mini-install
excluding BSD. If my package require BSD, then I should also include
a test if that is indeed installed (or at least the few commands I
may need). that's it!
