10.3: Create bootable ISO Image CDs using Disk Utility
Does anyone know how to make a backup copy of Panther Install disks? Apple told me they're using some sort of anti-piracy on install disks now. He said there is a way to create a backup for your install disks using DiskCopy but he was not allowed to tell me.
10.3: Create bootable ISO Image CDs using Disk Utility
i used toast to make backup copies of the panther install cds without a problem. not sure if Apple has implemented some sort of protection into disk utility, though...
10.3: Create bootable ISO Image CDs using Disk Utility
I copied my Panther CDs with Disk Utility by selecting New image from volume and selecting the session 1 in the sidebar, just under the CD name, no problems to boot from the cds burned with this image.
BEWARE: Test your copies, even if you think they're ok!
Be careful - you should try actually doing an install with the copied discs first. I did the same, and thought I was so clever for doing so... until using them to install on my iMac just kept failing in subtle ways. Weird failures during the installation, if I remember correctly, even though I was able to start from the copies without problems. On a hunch, I switched to the original discs, and installation immediately worked perfectly on the first try.

10.3: Use ASR disc images rather than CDs
Rather than making CD copies, why not create a clean virgin (and updated)
Mac OS X ASR disc image using a firewire drive, carbon copy cloner and netrestore? Here is how;
1. Install OS X (with full options, BSD, your chosen Languages etc)
2. Boot, create user, test, update (Apple CDs are out of date anyway)
3. Carbon Copy Cloner your beautiful OS X to an ASR compatible Disc image 4. Test a restore to a spare partition. Then all you need to do in the future to restore is as follows:
- Boot off a OS X mac (by firewire drive, target disk mode etc)
This technqiue is hundreds of time faster, better, more up-to-date than

and the actual technique to make this work seemlessly is covered
have fun, dirtymouse
