With a distribution script, you could specify (manually, not with PackageMaker) which packages can be installed to another folder (or volumes) and this possibility would only be available in the customize pane of the Installation Type step.

Hey Guys,
I'm running into an installer issue on 10.6, it's likely to be a Mac OS bug. I'm wondering if anyone run into the same issue and if there's any workaround of it.
I have a meta-package that includes several pkgs, some of the pkgs have the flag "IFPkgFlagRelocatable" set to false in the Info.plist. The files under these non-relocatable packages are intended to be always installed at a certain location(/Library etc.) and should not be relocated even if user selects a the custom path when installing through a mpkg. This works as expected in 10.4, 10.5.
But in 10.6, if user selects a custom path when installing the mpkg, Mac OS will ignore the "IFPkgFlagRelocatable=false" property in those non-relocatable packages. It will install all the files at the path user selects.
The expected results is Mac OS installs the non-relocatable files at its default location and only installs the relocatable files at the path user selects.
So has anybody run into the same issue or could suggest any workaround?
Thanks
Regards
