10.3: Create a system install DVD, simplified
Authored by: zokdok on Jan 01, '04 04:19:07PM

About the first steps:

I already made an image of the install cds, so I could use the first image as a base.. I converted it to read/write using disc copy (is was all on a jaguar system) then used disc copy again, in the menu is the option: 'Resize disk image...' ... I set it to 4.4 GB, and that was all..
copy the other 2 cds to the image, put some other stuff on it.. no need for any terminal of guessing how large you want to have it..
If you make it too large, you just shrink it with the resize option again..

Most likely I had the export mode on with disc copy (see hints on macosxhints.com). Is there an export mode with the panther version of disc utility (there must be)?

For including installers and other installs of updated software and possible other software, I would really like to know how that can be done. This already saves me awful lot of time as I have to manage the macs at work.. it could also save me some more time, as I'm working only 4 hours a week there..
