10.3: Disk Utility and Install CD #1
Authored by: matx666 on Nov 04, '03 12:16:35PM

Came in handy several weeks ago when our netboot server was down for a while.

I booted from a stack of (early build) panther install 1 Cds. They boot way faster (1min) than a bootable Cd made with BootCD (12min) and they can image the lab machine from an ASR ready DMG. Nice. (Would be nice if they had post-restore actions, tho).

10.3: Disk Utility and Install CD #1

you need to edit the files
/etc/rc.*
boot cd dose not put a perheat script on the so replace the line in the rc's that load the preheat script with
"find / | dd of=/dev/null"
this will make it load segnificantly faster it dose the same thing as the preheat script on the OSX install cds but actualy dose a better job of it also you can configre it to work in a way simalar to the install cds if you copy and coustomize the files
/etc/rc.*
off the install cd next learn the BSD startup scripts its easy to learn and the knoledge will serve you well in coustomizing the startup procidures of your machine
and finaly intsall GNU/Linux
