I didn't save that post and now I need to fix an image to allow it
to work on a machine other than
the one it's intended for. Any body know how to do this? It seemed
simple when I read it but now
of coarse I can't remember.
The method is slightly different than for modifying an Upgrade disc's
"CheckForOSX" file. What you need is a modified "OSInstall.dist" file
which has the script that checks for specific machines. This file has
been modified in various ways, sometimes people add in the model of
their Mac so that when the script identifies their Mac the test now
matches correctly. Others have eliminated the test altogether so that
there isn't any test at all. You can find instructions for modifying
this file on Google. Often you can find a pre-modified file for
download so that you can drop it in to replace the existing file.
