Features

From M L Vision Network Services Wiki

There are a number of features that set this conversion script apart from others. It is a complete conversion process and it does everything needed to get the resulting system operational following the guidelines you choose.

• Non destructive where all original files are renamed on both the bootable DVD and hard drive installation.
• Easy installation of custom extensions and plugins.
• Dynamically modifying plist entries for correct device identification based on a simple rule file.
• Custom kernels using delta files for smaller distribution.
• Official updates can be injected into the installer.
• The bootable DVD uses the exact same extensions as the hard drive install. If you can get to the installer application you will have a working system when the installation process completes.
• Choice of using EFI emulated boot loader for better kernel and extension compatibility.
• Support for GPT (GUID Partition Table) partitions.
• Correct installation of bootloader. No tricks, just done properly. Non destructive if another bootloader exists but does install as much as it can.
• Building packages of all extra components and added to the Apple installer. No more post installation scripts.
• Heavy error checking, it won't keep running if things aren't going smoothly and will advise what you need to do to fix the error.
• Modern design. Installs what is needed and nothing more.
• Future proof. Updated Mac OS X releases are likely to work with only minor changes.
• Works with all types of Mac OS X Leopard including retail, restore discs and server editions.
• Capability to use a hard drive for fast installs instead of burning to a DVD.
