- Hello Steve,
-
- try to get an Develpoer CD. There is the documentaion for the Apple Installer.
- I don't know how to write installer 3.0-scripts,
- I only write 3.2 and 3.3-scripts.
-
- You are right, the 'infs'-resource descibes the installer file specs.
-
-
- I think you have to patch the 'indo'-Resource (Installer Disk Order).
- The Installer 3.2 looks on these disk for the specified files. If this resource isn't available, not multi-disk-istallation is possible.
-
- The 'infr' (installer frame work) and 'inrl'(installer rules)-resources are
- needed for easy-install. If these resources are missing, no easy install is
- possible. I don't think you should create these resources, because you have to
- rewrite the total easy installer for this option. This would be a lot of work.
-
- The other resources are not requred for your installation (ALRT, DITL, icl8, inaa,
- inat, invs, STR ).
-
- Yours
