Glad to hear that. I contacted JAMF Support first and received a reply that
they really don't know InstaDMG that well. They asked me to post here.

What I'd be happy to know is the command that Casper uses to set the machine
name. Is it looking for a file that's not there? Or are they using a
built-in command like systemsetup, which is in different paths in 10.4 and
10.5? Even running that command doesn't set the Hostname, only the Computer
Name.

I'm sure I can work around the problem but that means I'll have to write an
extra script and populate one of the script variable fields in Casper
Imaging with the name. Easy to forget.
