Rhapsody Developer Release Notes:
Installation Tools
These notes are for the Rhaspody installation tools, which are
used to boot the system from a CD, install a base system, and install
packages and updates to the system.
Notes Specific to Rhapsody Developer Release
- Installer.app (in /NextAdmin) now uses the
gnutar tool to create and read packages. OpenStep packages
created with tools that predate the Rhapsody Developer Release do
not work with the Installer application included with
Rhapsody.
- BuildDisk.app (in /NextAdmin) no longer displays
the percentage complete as an absurdly high number. The
application also now installs on drives larger than 4 GB.
- Many of the command-line tools have been given autorelease
pools, which enhances their performance.
