Chapter 2 Creating Boot and Install Images 39
Adding Packages to a Boot or Install Image
To include additional application (.app) or file (.pkg) packages in an image, add the
packages to the image using System Image Utility.
You can add packages at the time you create an image or add packages to an existing
image.
To add packages to a new image you’re creating using System Image Utility, click the
Add (+) button after you select the image source in the Contents pane.
To add packages to an existing image, open System Image Utility, click Images, and
select the image in the list. Then click Edit, and click the Add (+) button in the Contents
pane.
In either case, you can drag package icons from the Finder to the Other Items list in the
Contents tab instead of using the Add (+) button.
Note: Using System Image Utility, you can add only embedded metapackages like
iTunes and Apple Remote Desktop, which contain the packages they reference. As for
unembedded metapackages (.mpkg files), you can’t add them to an image using
System Image Utility, but you can add the packages that they reference directly from
the Finder.
From the Command Line
You can also add packages to a boot or install image by modifying the image and its
associated rc.cdrom.packagePath or minstallconfig.xml file in Terminal. For more
information, see the system image chapter of the command-line administration guide.
Creating an Application-Only Install Image
To create an install image that contains application software but no operating system
software, deselect the Include Mac OS X option in the Contents pane in System Image
Utility.
Note: You can’t use System Image Utility to create an automated install image that
contains a metapackage or more than one regular package. You can do this using
commands in Terminal. For more information, see the system image chapter of the
command-line administration guide.
To add packages to a new image you’re creating using System Image Utility, click the
Add (+) button after you select the image source in the Contents pane.
You can drag package icons from the Finder to the Other Items list in the Contents tab
instead of using the Add (+) button.
