Hi All,

I swear this has been covered before but I couldn't find it searching the list. Anyways I would like my installer to be able to detect if it is installing on Intel as this is a requirement. It seems like it should be possible with sysctl or gestalt, but I am not entirely sure which value I should be looking at and what it needs to be set to.

2 possible solutions: - The one Apple tells you to use: sysctl as described by Florian. - The one Apple uses: Add this option to the Distribution script. <options hostArchitectures="i386" /> _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
