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. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
