We have experienced a few times where the Leopard Installer will skip the "Destination Select" pane. It will go straight from the License pane to the "Installation Type" screen. If you then press "Change Location" (I think that's the name of the button), it will go back to the "Destination Select" pane. Has anyone else seen this? It is not 100% reproducible - I can't figure out what triggers this behavior. The particular package is a distribution metapackage, but I've also seen it in a standard .pkg.


This is a feature of Leopard. If there's only one possible destination and the volume has been checked by the time the user would get to that panel, the panel is skipped.

Is it also a feature that when you have a Root Volume Only flag, the Choose Location… button is visible (package, metapackage)?


IIRC, there is no way to change the Startup Disk without restarting the Mac.
