It seems that the uncompressed option merely generates a very large
.pax file in the resulting .pkg file. Is there a way to just have an
package refer to bits already unpaxed? The idea here is that on the
installation disc, there's a full installation that you can
drag-n-drop, but if you really want to, you can run the installer.
I'd prefer not to have to duplicate the data (one full set + one
compressed set), but rather just have the installer refer to the
files already layed out on the CD.
Hi Nathan,
Yes, this is possible. The BaseSystem.pkg on the InstallCD/DVD uses
this method.
