You could also use a text file listing the packages and process that, so that packages get installed in the order you wish (if any depend on others)...which is what we used to do with our NetRestore single_computer.txt file.....which had a list of packages for that computer and read that in and processed it in a loop to install listed packages. -Mike On Mar 23, 2011, at 9:32 PM, Doug Brown wrote:

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

This is good advice. Under certain circumstances I use a little utility called InstallPKG, which does the same thing. It is handy because it will let you install all packages, metapackages including those within DMGs from a folder. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25774/installpkg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
