Can someone give me a "primer" on writing installation scripts? I have trying to proactively prepare for disaster recovery, and am now able to do something like: packageCache:='C:\Documents and Settings\robr\My Documents\proj\squeak\development packages'. Installer installFile: packageCache,'ODBC-rjriv.1.cs'.
Which, of course, assumes that my packages are in a directory I can get to from my machine.
However, I know other options are available to me, such as grabbing packages directly from the network and automating answers to any Requests.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Rob
