Thanks for the tip, however that didn't work. Bummer.

Matt's message says this:

However, on my Tiger install disk there is no Bundled Software.mpkg in
System/Installation/Packages. Unless you mean each directory in Packages.
But running
find ./ -name Info.plist -exec grep -i -H Requires '{}' ';'
in Packages returns nothing, so I'm not sure where to go from here. In fact,
running that find/grep command in the root directory of the DVD returns a
small list of files in
System/Library/SystemConfiguration/<something>.bundle/Contents.plist. But in
those files, the require refers to other components it needs, such as:
<key>Requires</key>
<array>
<string>com.apple.SystemConfiguration.ATconfig</string>
<string>com.apple.SystemConfiguration.IPConfiguration</string>
<string>com.apple.SystemConfiguration.IPMonitor</string>
</array>
And running
find ./ -name Info.plist -exec grep -i -H hw.model '{}' ';'
returns nothing. In fact, running just
find ./ -exec grep -i -H hw.model '{}' ';'|less
returns nothing.
Soooooooo...any other ideas? :) I've got to be missing something obvious.
Maybe I'll try a native install, then restore the boot loader once that's
done.
