.sparseimage technique works great!
Authored by: jiclark on Nov 25, '04 12:24:02AM

Just wanted to chime in that I've just used the technique, suggested by the poster above, that uses Disk Utility in Panther to:

1) ...make a .sparseimage,
2) ...restore Disk 1 of the Panther three-CD-set to the newly created sparseimage,
3) ...then copy the packages from the other two CDs into the sparseimage;
4) ...then remove the parts of the .plist that refer to the individual CDs, as mentioned in step 6 of the original hint (and there are indeed 31 separate instances...)
5) ...save the changes, unmount the image, convert it to CD/DVD master, and burn.

It works like a charm! I must say, it's very slow on an older machine with a slow DVD drive, but on a newer machine, it works great...

Good luck,
John-o
