Bootable DVD

Aztec Warrior · 06-08-2004, 08:29 PM

I've looked high and low for an answer of how to create a bootable DVD with 10.3 and some runable apps such as DiskWarrior and/or SystemWorks, but I've only found some code that really requires a strong knowledge of UNIX at bombich.com. Does anyone know of an easy(ish) way to create an OSX boot DVD, or am I in over my head?

If you follow the directions exactly and very carefully, I *think* that you can create a bootable DVD with BootX: http://www.charlessoft.com/

The problem with that software is that it will only create a partition of 650Mb or 700Mb. I might be able to pare down OSX enough to make it fit, but I'm not even sure I'd know where to begin...

Ah, OK. Well, then I take it back. You may want to e-mail CharlesSoft support@charlessoft.com and request a DVD-sized option.

Thanks.

I'll give it a shot. Who knows... if he's as quick as ya'll, I might have an answer before dinner!
