The suggestion to use ³arch² is fine, but I¹m not well acquainted with

And I would assume I would want to check that it is ³i386² and break if it
isn¹t (via the InstallationCheck returning a determined value of 16-31, from
what I understand).

mabinogi:~ leeg$ if [ `arch` = 'i386' ]; then echo "beige hardware" ; elif [ `arch` = 'ppc' ]; then echo "white hardware" ; else echo "step away from the cube..."; fi

You can't just make stuff up and expect the installer to understand it. The InstallationCheck documentation clearly states that the return value of the script is used here, not the output it prints to stdout.


For instance, a return value of 112 is used to indicate failure and print message #16 in the .strings file.
