Re: Problems with installation manager 1.2.1

[MichaelQuigley@xxxxxxxxxx]

Kevin,

I can't guarantee this will work, but have you tried downloading an 
updated version of Packaging Utility?  You may need to start with the 
original install images and build (or rather re-build) your repository.  I 
haven't gone to installation manager 1.2.1 (still on 1.2.0), but I've had 
some trouble in the past which has cleared up since I went to a newer 
version of the Packaging Utility.
