OK can someone point me in the right direction where I can find the info on generating a script within an install (PKG). I think I may have it right but need clarification. Also is there a resource for terminal commands. Also what can I use instead of root to make sure install goes on destination drive. eg the script needs to be run on the drive osx is being installed too. So I need a replacement for root.

Thanx in advance

You must write a shell or a perl script named "preinstall" or "postinstall" and then add it to your pkg using PackageMaker.
Example:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rm -r $3/System/Library/Extensions/AppleEFIRuntime.kext
rm -r $3/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext
exit 0
$3 means the destination drive.

Hope it helps.

Zephy thanx for the help. Have you been away?? Also is this the reason alcinject doesnt work straight after install.

Thanks

sudo chown -R root:wheel
would this need to be sudo chown -R $3:wheel
or just change the directory after this to $3/etc.,....

ok Zeph solved the alcinject issue that installs fine now just need to make alc either overright the existing applehda or stop osx overwriting the alcinjects version of applehda. Any suggestions

Thanks
