Problem Solved Yet another question arisen
Authored by: jubelc on Dec 28, '03 01:49:08PM

How stupid of me... when I made the image... I forgot to change the image format to Read/Write... It was Read-only all this time until I tried again.

now question #2:

how do you make a DVD with 2 partitions with one that contains the Panther installer and the other whatever other installers you want so it would both be available to you when you mount the DVD?

Multi-partition DVD
Authored by: a1291762 on Dec 28, '03 08:18:17PM

I've not done this with a DVD (I don't have a DVD burner) but I've done it with CDs. The solution was to burn multiple "images" to the DVD. Obviously the Finder won't let you do this. I did it with a Windows program (that's where the burner was). Just burn both ISOs onto the disc. Don't overwrite what's there. The images end up one after each other and both appear when you insert the disk.

Mind you, that only works on MacOS. Windows and Unix only saw the last partition on the disk.

Multi-partition DVD alternative
Authored by: Marc Wolfgram on Dec 28, '03 11:46:55PM

Rather than partition the DVD, it's easier to make the original image large enough to contain DMG files of the additional things yoiu want to have available from the installer disk. After completing the steps provided (Thank you for the clear instructions - worked flawlessly!) with the three basic install images, I simply copied a DMG of the Xcode Tools CD to the new image. Anything that can be installed from a DMG file will work.

Happy New Year!
