Can you create a boot DVD with working Safari, Terminal, etc?
Authored by: 1equals0 on Jan 02, '04 10:51:13PM

i used pacifist to extract all the parts of safari and terminal, and placed them into the boot dvd image.

no joy...but it was for a diff reason.. i used ccc which completely failed to make a bootable dvd...so i dont know if it would have worked.

can someone confirm?

With BootCD you could make boot DVD.
I haven't try with Panther but with Jaguar it works perfectly.

I've done standalone boot CDs for OSX, OS9, Linux(PPC & X86), Win 98 & XP. With the right config and apps installed, you can do almost anything (expecially system backups). It takes time to achieve perfection though. Always keep a previous version of your image and make one change at a time. You can go back to the old version if you go beyond the point of no return and find out what you did wrong. Burn to CDRW / DVDRW until you get a version that works. I used an application called 'boot cd' from http://www.charlessoft.com to do OS X. Although it ran on G4, G3 & Imac, it froze on an xserve but couldn't afford the downtime to examine why.
