[Composer] Newbie procedure question

[Scott DeLorme]

Hello all, 
Fairly new to Composer. A few questions about the procedure.
I have Composer on an External drive that also has Apple Dev tools on it.  I boot the image machine to its own hard drive.  Take a snapshot, make changes, take snapshot.  When saving then as an Apple .pkg (for use with Apple Remote Desktop), I get the
messsage that the Apple Dev tools is not installed. It is only looking locally for the Dev tools, not from the External drive that I have them on already.

So I install the Dev tools to the local hard drive, the saving goes through, and the .pkg works just fine.  

My question is this:  Any machine that you are running  as the image machine, will you need to install the Apple Dev tools on? I do not see any other way.  Booting from the External is not the answer because how else will you make changes to the local
machine's hard drive. Should I be looking at having the Apple Dev tools as a mounted image on that computer?
