Create a hard-drive based OS X installer
Authored by: DaMacGuy on Jan 11, '06 02:10:31PM

So, on your computer you have five partitions on your desktop? And only one of them is for day-to-day use? Ugh. I don't know if this solution is worth the 'hassle'.

Now, if the partitions could be hidden, or unmounted until needed - that'd be doable. Something like TechTools hidden partition.

Create a hard-drive based OS X installer

Nope, the drive that has all the partitions is his "Toolbox" drive, that he uses to install OS X, do diagnostics, backups, etc. on client's hard drives--not the drive that boots his main Mac (if he has a "main" Mac). And I'd guess he uses each of these partitions on a fairly equal basis, given all the different Mac models he probably works with.
