You have two choices:
1) Don't upgrade and wait 6 months for this stuff to work the
way you want.
2) Use shell scripts, they will work in the menu right now.
We're buying about 5-10 MacBooks per month. Where are we going to
get MacBooks that haven't been upgraded (I'll bet the next batch
has Leopard)? I guess we'll have to do some kind of shell script
thing, but from what I'm reading the Leopard X11 still
Until the next revision is made to the MacBook you could install
10.4.10 without any problems since it is currently supported. Of
course once new hardware comes out this won't be an option.
The rumors were that they were supposed to come out with new
MacBooks today. :)
I assume you don't deploy a common system image out to your
machines? That would help with managing your customizations; even
if just for the original imaging since it sounds like they are
offsite most of their life. I'm happy to provide more info on what
I do here for my image management.
We try to, but all of our software changes so fast (i.e. we're such
lousy programmers that we have to keep fixing bugs :), and then
Solaris comes out with a new update, Linux comes out with a new
update a couple of times a year, then Apple does THIS (some of our
stuff has to run everywhere -- that's why we're sliding towards
Python/Tkinter as much as possible), etc. Microsoft takes forever
between updates, so that's a good thing. ;). We have guys that are
trying to keep on top of all of the changes, so we'll see what is
going to happen. If one of them looks like he's going to go postal
I'll give you a yell. :)
Just a quick plug for Radmind: yeah its pretty hard to get going at
first, there is a pretty steep learning curve; but once its going
updates are extremely easy to create and very quick to deploy. <http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/radmind/
