kjp4756 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 During Lion install, when you click the "Customize" button, there are no packages to select or deselect. I'm using the USB boot method where you restore base system.dmg then copy the Packages directory from the Install ESD. Is anybody else experiencing this? It's not a huge deal breaker. I'm just wondering in case I did something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pndo1 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I was kind of thinking the same thing, but I think that since there is just a base package, and nothing else, like Rosetta, since it was removed, there is no reason to put customizations in there. I have a feeling they will remove the 'Customize' button in the final release. I may be wrong, as this is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm ok. I don't even have a greyed out base package. No server option either. How exactly did you install yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are just being so "smarty" pants, bud!. If you are installing a Lion GM, you will see a blank Customize window but if you are installing an old preview of OS X then "Yes", you'll see server checkbox. If you installed a OS X Lion preview with a server package, then you cannot install the OS X Lion GM; YOU NEED TO GET IT at the "AppStore" when OS X Lion is launch sometime this month. I know because I can't install the OS X Lion GM ( client) on my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjp4756 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 If the customize window is supposed to be blank for the GM, how is a person supposed to install printer drivers, extra languages and X11? I did manage to install X11 by running the pkg for it in the packages folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did manage to install X11 by running the pkg for it in the packages folder. Because all the application drivers, localization (Languages), X11, you've mentioned are in the Basesytem and Essential packages. If you are not sure what you're talking about and if you're sure then that is not the OS X Lion GM (11A511) version that was in the Apple Developer distribution otherwise you have something that wasn't. Are you a registered Mac Developer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjp4756 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 I believe I have just found a bug. It could be caused by the way we are installing lion (restore base system.dmg, etc...). Would someone be willing to test this on a legit mac and post results? Click the customize button. Notice how it is blank. Close that windows then try to install lion. You'll get an error about server software missing. From what I've read, the server software will be available as a separate download. Why is the installer looking for in the installation media?
