10.4: Create a single Universal binary bootable disk
Authored by: aroubini on Mar 22, '06 10:53:46AM

Anyone suppose there would be any downside to performing this process with tiger server as the PPC install, and then cloning the intel client install on top of it. I'm trying to figure out how to best integrate a mac mini dual core into a multi-computer home environment and having access to the portable home folders on tiger server would be ideal. Its hard to see where the pitfalls might be, but its worth a try I think.

10.4: Create a single Universal binary bootable disk

It's very unlikely this would work beyond just getting you a universally bootable system.

it's likely that some of the Mac OS X Server-specific components would be broken, and you wouldn't be able to (easily) update to, for example, Mac OS X Server 10.4.6 when it comes out (whereas you could use the Intel client updates on a non-Server installation, since all of the Intel updates are universal).

You're better off waiting until there's an actual Intel version of Mac OS X Server as well, at which point you'll still have to jump through all these hoops to make a universal installation.
