DesiMaster Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I installed pacifist on my ibook g4 and i was looking through the Tiger installation CD's. It seems ike i can add the files i need in each of the description plists and edit localized strings.... change the description and welcome RTF's to just change those parts of the installer. I am just guessing that when OS installer loads, it automatically detects other packages within it? To remove items, would i just remove from cd(ok that was dumb question, thats how you strip it to one dvd...) add files in same process? lets say, i want to install office at that time also, please give me instruction on what i would need to change.... For the kernel, would replacing the one already on the cd with developer(semthex 8.8.1) kernel fix that problem? BTW - When i extract OS install.mpkg from pacifist, will that extract all the resource files also? how would I recreate the installer package? And i know how to do custom icons, background color, yada... look wise.... (just change view options, right? i mean they will store in the .dsstore before burning) My best hope would be starting off with uphucks packages and add them to my dvd.... Inform me if i am wrong about anything/everything.... am i making too many presumptions? Thank you KALYWAY for inspiring me with your beautiful DVD's Thank you to all develepors who wish to repond.

DesiMaster Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 I again was looking through the installer, this time searching for the osinstaller.dist file i need to edit. I cant seem to find it in pacifist. How would i extract this file from the installer? do i need to extract the whole installer and rebuild it?
