| Apple IP Gateway - installation questions |
Posted by: desertrout on 2021-07-31 12:38:33
I'm trying to mess around with Apple IP Gateway, but the images supplied at Macintosh Repository (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/9754-apple-ip-gateway-1-0-1), well they're actually just folders... I made images from the folders to run the installer, but the installer tells me the second image is incorrect. I messed around with some different settings and configurations, but no luck.
I'm wondering if it's possible to just manually copy the files to their required places without using the installer? Anyone have any experience with IP Gateway? |

I have managed to install Apple IP Gateway, I think from those folders. Let me go and check what I have and whether I can remember how I got it to install... |

Try moving the 2nd folder into the same folder as the Installer. |

Try moving the 2nd folder into the same folder as the Installer. No go. The installer still asks for the second disk. Thanks though. 👍

Oh, I remember what I did. I didn't install from those folders at all. There's a folder of disc images on I think it's the Apple Legacy Recovery CD. I'll send them to you. |

Oh! I didn't think to look there! |

Much appreciated. Oh, shoot. That trick often works. I've found that many installers that are looking for disks will work if there's a folder with the same name as the disk in the same folder as the installer. Usually Apple software installers. |

Usually Apple software installers. I've noticed that too. It's almost like it's an undocumented feature of most Apple installers, perhaps with an eye toward being install-able from a network file server or something.
But every now and then, there's an exception....

Usually Apple software installers. Hm, maybe I did it incorrectly? I'm tempted to try it again just to verify... (even though the version from the recovery cd worked) |

I tried it a few different ways. It didn't 🙁. |

You can make a read only 800k Disk Copy 4.2 disk image of each folder and then mount them all and run the installer. This worked for me. |

@Mk.558 has brought it to my attention that my statement above was wrong: it's not on the Legacy Recovery CD, it's on the Applications Recovery CD. |
