Ok i am slightly confused. now if use createOSXinstallpkg to create an OS
install package, and I put it onto a blank/erased/unlocked harddrive
externally(in a usb enclosure), can I then put the HDD into the machines I want
to deploy the installs on and will said HDD boot directly into the pkg? thus
making emulating a clean fresh (straight-from-the-factory) initial install? Or
am I just an idiot and missing something entirely?
I need to be able to re/clean/fresh-install OSX on several machines which have
for one reason or another been rendered bootable/installable with various
flavors of Linux successfully from a dvd, but OSX install blocked in every way.
Refit, Refind, and various other bootloaders have been less than succesful.
The computers that come back to my department are used by students who like to
do whatever they want and have been able to since there haven’t been any
security options setup by my predecessor to prevent such lock-ups.
Apple just makes this a pain in the ass to do especially for multiple machines.
And since these computers were all brand new out of the box donations by
various people, which means we don’t have the purchase receipts and/or
AppleCare for any of them (which by now would have expired anyway) obviously
contacting apple about them has been fruitless as we don’t have the necessary
funding to pay for every machine’s fix.
But I digress… Will these Volumes boot directly into the Install package, or
do I need to do something else? I am either a idiot or just missing something.
Please help!!!!
