Hey Everyone,
Forgive me if I am about to ask questions others have asked
before. I use the CLI installer for almost all of my work. So
leveraging functions the GUI provides at the CLI are important.
1. If I set the default install location to "/" stating it is
required, will the CLI installer respect that package setting?
2. If I manually assign the -target flag on the CLI installer to
give it a different location, will the CLI installer send me a
warning or error, or just allow me to override where it is to be
installed?
3. If the CLI installer "-target" command is perceived as changing
the install location, how would I extract this new location in the
pre-flight or preinstall scripts?
The install location is relative to the mountpoint of the volume you
are installing onto.
The --target flag allows you to specify a different volume. It's
analogous to choosing the volume in the GUI installer, not to setting
the install location.
--target is exposed as the $3 argument to your install scripts.
