There's no hard documentation, but there are enough hints to keep you
busy for an hour figuring it out on your own. PackageMaker help gives
you enough to know that shell scripts will be enough for what you want
to do. That's how I got the pieces of my app done. I had to write a
shell script to create the right folders in the right places with the
right permissions. A preinstall script made the folders, changed
permissions, and made sure the everything was right from /Library down,
and a postinstall script put everything in the proper place before the
installer quit.

that
web site that was recommended is also crap. It goes into no details at
all
(much like the mac-dissing PC idiot we've been debating over for the
past 3
days ;-) ).
For example, for me, all I want to do is install an InputManager in
/Library/InputManager, and then install the source and the Readme,
etc. in
another folder. But is there seemingly any way to do this with
PackageMaker...? Noooooo... not that's clearly defined anywhere.
Does anybody know of a good tutorial or website or SOMETHING that is
out
there for showing people how to use this program?
Thanks,
