Racist as well as stupid. That explains it.
I was born and raised in the states, btw, not that it should matter.

Oh jeez, not another overly arrogant Korean. What is it with you

writing software when you were, most likely still in diapers.
Let's see............ I just reread the entire Software Delivery
Guide for a second time and on page 7 it says:
"Software requirements: This document assumes that delivery
solutions are created using Mac OS X v10.4 or later and Xcode 2.3
or later. The delivery solutions described in this document can be
installed on computers running Mac OS X v10.2 and later."
What part of "10.2 and later" don't you understand?
Regardless of whether it is a "free" utility or not is irrelevant.
Xcode is free too. Next you will be telling me Apple has no
responsibility to support that either? If Apple provides the tools,
it is their responsibility to support them. Maybe no one should
expect a crappy OS like Linux to work either just because it is
"free".
MXPLAY looks pretty crappy BTW. Nice flashing UI elements as I drag
and resize the window. LOL.

Installer plugins is a poorly documented feature but if you had
looked a the one and only sample from Apple ("Plugins are only
supported in Mac OS X Tiger (v10.4) and later.") or searched
through the mailing list you would've realized this. I did.
It's Apple's way of helping you and your users to say goodbye to
10.3.

Thanks Apple - make me build two separate installers for my
product in order to support both 10.3 & 10.4 - that's very nice
of you.
Next product I'll write my own installer from scratch that
supports both. What junk Apple is shipping these days.

In 10.3, you can add custom code at InstallationCheck,
VolumeCheck, pre- and post-flight script phases.
You cannot add more installation panels/pages without doing
something really unpleasant such as overriding ObjectiveC code.
This has nothing to do with PackageMaker itself. It's just that
the Installer.app in 10.3 does not support as much stuff as it
does in 10.4.
