I want to prepare a custom installer of Thunderbird and Firefox, which will come preconfigured with the address book, proxy settings etc.
I found some forum topics on the issue:
here
and here,
there someone recommends using mozptch
but it currently is discontinued and recommends using http://opsi.org/
I also found out the WPKG package installer, from
this question and
this one.
They all assume the configuration is done later by MDC.
But I do not prefer doing a massive install of package managers and then install and configure programs with them. (Because my Active Directory knowledge is very limited). I highly prefer creating a customized installer, which can be run on both office computers and home computers by the users.
What method can you recommend for creating a customized and preconfigured installer for Thunderbird and Firefox ?
