Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion Stéphane. This is exactly
what I want to do - but, I don't know how to access
the customization pane. I don't see any info on that
in the docs on Apple's web site. Any suggestions on
how to get access to the PackageSelection
InstallerSection or the customPane InstallerPane or
the CustomInstallerPage InstallerPane (I think that's
what they're called ;-) ?
Thanks,
Jon
