Ok, Here's a short and quick foolproof guide to making a SL-DVD leopard install disc for 9a559... And this method works across the board for all other builds also..
What you need 1. Original Leopard developers seed (.dmg)(6.55Gb) 2. One blank DVD (+1 backup blank just in case you screw up) 3. Mac OS X 10.4.X Tiger (This is important, cos leopard screws up disc burning) 4. 6.55Gb+6.55Gb+4.7Gb=17.8Gb of harddisc space Method 1. Mount the Original Leopard DMG (jus double click u idiot!!) 2. Open Disc Utility (under Applications -> Utilities) 3. Click on New Image (at the top u fool!!) 4. Name the image as dump (save on desktop!!) 5. Put the type as sparse image 6. Put the size as DL-DVD (8Gb), and click create 7. Mount dump.sparse 8. In disc utility, select the dump image and click the restore tab 9. Drag the mounted Mac OS X Install DVD to the Restore from field 10. Drag the mounted dump to the Restore to field (or equivalent) 11. Click Restore and wait.. (have some patience... ZEN...) 12. Once that is done, open up the dump mounted image 13. Remove the Developers Tools under Optional Installs 14. Use finder's Go to Folder option and navigate to /Volumes/dump/System 15. Go to Installation -> Packages 16. Proceed to remove anything that has Printer in it (u can always get from vendors) 17. Proceed to remove languages that you do not need (like french, german) 18. Verify in Disc Utility on the size of your dump (should be 4.3Gb or less) 19. Return to Disc Utility 20. Click on New Image 21. Name the image as burn (save on desktop!!) 22. Put the type as sparse image 23. Put the size as SL-DVD(4.7Gb), and click create 24. Select the burn image and click the restore tab 25. Drag the mounted dump to the Restore from field 26. Drag the mounted burn to the Restore to field (dont mix up!!!) 27. Click Restore and wait.. (have some patience... ZEN...) 28. Once its done, burn it to DVD (in Tiger, not leopard) PS: Mods please sticky this as a resource for people who wanna make their own SL-DVD leopard install discs |
