[Casper] SetHidden

Hello,

The new 10.5 discs use flattened packages to install so you can't  
browse the contents until they are expanded.

Use /usr/sbin/pkgutil --expand <Pkg> <PkgDir> to expand them.

In this case:

/usr/sbin/pkgutil /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/ 
Installation/Packages/OSInstall.pkg ~/Desktop/OSInstall

Should do the job, the SetHidden is in Scripts/Tools along with  
hidden_MacOS9 in just Scripts.

Then:

./SetHidden <Path to Volume> <Path to hidden_MacOS9>

And restart (seems to need this to set symbolic links to hide).
