I'd like to roll all those updates into a single installer so there's only one thing that needs to be clicked on. Or we might unbox the computer, install a management agent, and then push the package to the computer. The problem I have is that with either PackageMaker or Iceberg I can't add flat packages to the metapackage that I'm making. Tiger-style (unflat?) packages add just fine. Is there something I'm overlooking here? Is there a workaround for this dilemma?

Maintaining an mpkg of all your software would be a logistical nightmare. However, if you wanted something extremely quick and dirty you could have a script loop through a folder of pkgs and install them. E.g.: for i in `ls -d /Volumes/Share/Packages/*.*.pkg; do installer -pkg ${i} -target / done Also, I agree with the other posters, your time learning munki et al would be well spent in the long run.
