10.3: Create a system install DVD
Authored by: mweissen on Jan 02, '04 02:54:29AM

Pardon me if this is off the mark, but why not just make a DVD-sized image, mount it, clone the CD to it with Carbon Copy Cloner, and then add/edit whatever you want from there?

I think the boot information needs to go in the CD ROM header, at least that's how the "El Torito" ISO 9660 bootable CD-ROM standard works.

If you make a disk image from a bootable CD, the disk image will be bit-by-bit identical to the original and will thus also be bootable. If you make a new (non-bootable) image, just copying some files to it won't make it bootable; you still need to modify the header.
