I would like to have just one backdrop for all markets, and whilst I can put all the different languages of text in one image, it would look untidy. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a way to show a different backdrop depending on the currently active locale? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Thanks! What you're probably looking for is the rootVolumeOnly option. I don't think the domains feature is required. I don't remember right now if the rootVolumeOption is accessible in PackageMaker 3 (I tend to remember there's a bug related to it in PM3) but in the distribution script, it would look like this: This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Were you being ironic? To answer my question for the archive, Stéphane Sudre has a very good, but inevitably not comprehensive, FAQ at <http:// s.sudre.free.fr/Stuff/Installer/Menu.html>. It appears to be active enough to be current. I can't speak for him as to whether he's open to contributions. I'm not sure why it didn't turn up in my Google searches. Perhaps it was that the pages mention Apple or Mac OS X surprisingly rarely. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
