Script-only installer packages for download.

I had a request from Michael Augustson on the Apple Remote Desktop mailing list if I can post a link to a collection of the script-only installer packages that I’ve used with Apple Remote Desktop 1.x and 2.x. Since I’m a nice person, I’m doing just that. For all those who are interested, I’ve saved a disk image with a number of script-only installer packages, with some other additions that I’ve found useful, up to my .Mac account at http://homepage.mac.com/flounder/packages.dmg. 
 
Here’s what’s on the disk image:

/var/vm/swapfile0 
 
Software Update.pkg – Runs the following commands on the target Mac:
