How can I stop an installer from prompting for the install location?

Hi everybody,
I have an installer that always needs to install to the system disk.  Actually, I have 13 installers that need to install to the system disk :-)

They put stuff into /Library/Application Support

The really strange part is that I have three different results.
1) some do not prompt for the install location
2) some go directly to the panel with the volumes to select
3) some have a panel with a button to press to get to the panel to select the volume


I have verified with PackageMaker 3.0 that ALL of them have the System volume selected as the Install Destination.
They all build what I believe is a metapackage (targeted for 10.4, is a bundle of stuff).
They are built on Leopard from the command line using the pmdoc files.

As far as I can tell, they all look the same in PackageMaker.

What do I need to do to get them all to not prompt for the install location?
