Restore iDVD and other default software from Restore DVD
Authored by: BMarsh on May 28, '03 12:15:22PM

Someone will have to help me with part of this comment...

I know I've done his before, after running the restore from the CD/DVD it installs a program into /Applications/Utilities/
I believe it's called simply "Software Restore"
if you quit the restore program from the CD/DVD then run this one in the utilities folder you get the option to do a full restore or a partial

unfortunately I just don't have time today to test this out, but I know I've done it before when someone had iDVD freak out, I was able to restore the one specific program without having to use 3rd party apps to reinstall it

Restore iDVD and other default software from Restore DVD

This "trick" also works with other software restore disks such as the set that comes with the iBook. Just be careful when mounting the images to place the folders in the proper directories. And of course since the ".images" is a hidden file this is best done through the terminal (or equivelant).
