[Casper] CS3 Strategies

[Steve Wood]

We utilize a script to run Photoshop after installing CS3.  Photoshop  
will start up without asking for the first run info, and that will  
serialize all of the apps.

The script:

#!/bin/sh

open /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS3/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS3.app/


echo "Done"


We are a small location, so I just push CS3 during the imaging  
process.  I don't really care how long it takes because, to use Ronco,  
I "Set it, and forget it".
