What I had to do was use a login item that is installed and set by my post-action script, then on first login it runs and deletes itself. I bind to AD/OD, install packages and create users from this script, and it has been super stable for me. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: installer-dev-bounces+perbix=lmsd.org@lists.apple.com [mailto:installer-dev-bounces+perbix=lmsd.org@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Sean P. Kane Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:37 AM To: system-imaging@lists.apple.com Cc: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Distribution Scripts in Network Installs I am using Netboot to deploy clean installs of Apple OS X 10.4.6 and then apply a distribution package that includes the Mac OS X 10.4.7 combo updater among other things. I am having problems making this work. During Netboot I just get a spinning beach ball. So, 2 questions: 1) Should distribution packages work fine within NetInstall? 2) Is is there a practical size limit on the packages deployed this way? Since the combo updater is so, big, and I have the Intel and PPC one in there, this may be the issue. Thanks, Sean -- Sean P. Kane Macintosh Client Engineering Support | Nike, Inc.
