site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Could you elaborate on "bombs out"? Look at the system log for output from the installer. Moon phases?

Try adding the "-verbose" flag on the 'installer' command line, and perhaps it will give some useful clues. Try printing (or echoing) the value of "$1" from your script, prior to the invoke of 'installer', to ensure it is correct. I've run some tests, using CLI 'installer' and GUI 'Installer.app' with a couple of packages and metapackages, installing to the system disk, and installing to other volumes. And even added spaces to the names of other volumes. But have not had any failures at all. I've not run a test from a system that was network booted, however, so it is certainly possible that is THE factor. Also, you say you have success running the GUI 'Installer.app' after the netboot, but how about manually invoking the CLI 'installer' with the same arguments that you use from within the script? Double checked that each package within the meta is flagged to not require root volume, and is relocatable? (shouldn't be an issue, since the GUI version does the job) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
