Hi Corey,

There is not way to tell AI not to perform some of the install tasks. 
The splash image is added in a script named 'install-finish' which is 
run by the installer after the bits are installed. The home page is also 
set in this script.

You could pull a clone of the slim_source source repo and modify 
install-finish to remove these two entries. Lines 162 & 163 in 
usr/src/cmd/slim-install/finish/install-finish.

After you do this, build the source, which will build pkgs. Then you can 
build your own custom AI distro using the distro constructor. You would 
want to modify the build of the distribution to include installing your 
own SVR4 pkgs that were built from the slim_source workspace.

I have attached a finalizer script that does just this, that is adds the 
pkgs from my local slim_source workspace to the image I am building.

The distro const docs are located at:

thanks,
sarah
