Thanks for the tip, however that didn't work. Bummer.

Matt's message says this:

However, on my Tiger install disk there is no Bundled Software.mpkg in 
System/Installation/Packages.  Unless you mean each directory in Packages.  
But running

 find ./ -name Info.plist -exec grep -i -H Requires '{}' ';'

in Packages returns nothing, so I'm not sure where to go from here.  In fact, 
running that find/grep command in the root directory of the DVD returns a 
small list of files in 
System/Library/SystemConfiguration/<something>.bundle/Contents.plist.  But in 
those files, the require refers to other components it needs, such as:

	<key>Requires</key>
	<array>
		<string>com.apple.SystemConfiguration.ATconfig</string>
		<string>com.apple.SystemConfiguration.IPConfiguration</string>
		<string>com.apple.SystemConfiguration.IPMonitor</string>
	</array>

And running

find ./ -name Info.plist -exec grep -i -H hw.model '{}' ';'

returns nothing.  In fact, running just

find ./ -exec grep -i -H hw.model '{}' ';'|less

returns nothing.

Soooooooo...any other ideas? :)  I've got to be missing something obvious.  
Maybe I'll try a native install, then restore the boot loader once that's 
done.
