This used to be so easy in MacOS 7 etc.
As far as I remember, to create a bootable CD I just had to copy the
"system folder" over to the CD. That way I could create my own,
customized emergency boot CD with various utilities needed for
maintenance and fixing -stuff that I otherwise couldn't run because it
refused to fix the same drive the application ran from.
I'd like to do the same with MacOS X.
After a lot of searching I finally came across this site which
explained how to create a backup of the MacOS 10.4 DVD (http://
creativebits.org/mac_os_x/make_a_dvd_copy_of_mac_os_x_tiger).
That's all good, but it doesn't say how to add extra applications to
that DVD.
Besides, once I've made a backup of that DVD I don't need another copy
with the complete *installation* program for MacOS in addition to the
DVD being bootable with MacOS!
I just need a "bare bones" MacOS, then the software of my choice
(Onyx, Disk utility etc.).
Is there a way to do this?
I've currently got MacOS 10.4.9 installed on my Powerbook G4. I
believe the original installation DVDs had MacOS 10.4.3 or thereabouts
on them however.
