Shells scripts don't give any progress feedback to the GUI and that is an issue with the files which can be up to 2GB. I found this older thread at the link below. it explains the problem, and includes suggestions in more detail, but sadly the problem wasn't solved. any suggestions are welcome! thanks, dan http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7048903#7048903
I have made meta packages (or is it distribution?) with referenced bundles. When you add a package to an installer, the bottom of the window has a "Package Location" setting. There are a bunch of options there for referencing your packages. I've used the HTTP URL reference which works pretty well internally on my network.
