Hi all,

I want to share my latest experiences with the Mac OS X installer and 
the packaging process on Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.9).

I used the packaging script (create-package.sh) provided by Maho (I 
think) which creates tar files and a single disk image (dmg) at the end. 
This works superb on Panther! No hanging package process anymore.
My former tries with the 'create_OSX_dmg' script provided by Florian 
Heckl failed unfortunately.

The lastest start script provided by Stephan Schaefer fixes some smaller 
problems reported by Eric Hoch. Remaining problems with this script are: 
running 'fondu' works not yet correctly and I have wrong application and 
document icons at the moment.

The following things work with this script:
-Multiple user can start OOo now
-Users without admin rights can start OOo as well
-The applet stays open until OOo will be closed

Kind regards,
Tino
