Hello! this may be off topic.
I have little problem with install files.
Installing tar_balls_file from AppleShare volume 
which served by netatalk on linux box.
But installer stop with message "valid ...etc...".
I think it may be caused by netatalk.
So I added types and creaters of tar_balls to
AppleVolumes.system(netatalk's config file), but it does not fix yet.
does anyone have same problem?
