Crabhunter Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I am able to create usb installers for Lion (Kakewalk, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]) and SL (Netbookinstaller) Is there any way to create bootable DVDs from these usb sticks?

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It should be possible but when using a DVD you probably can't use the exact same command that you use to make a Chameleon boot CD. Take a look at my boot CD how-to over at the VoodooProjects forum, find a post by me and follow the link in my signature, you will need cdboot.

Crabhunter Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks, I'm not sure you understood what I was trying to say, so far the only methods I have found to install Lion involve creating a bootable usb stick. I have no trouble doing this (with the help of installer apps) and can successfully install Lion on my pc. I would like to be able to just restore the usb stick to a dvd but it's not easy I'm sure it must be possible. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Your USB installer uses Chameleon right? Then so should your DVD. Only, on optical media you need 'cdboot' as opposed to 'boot'. I am pointing you to my guide because you are effectively creating a Chameleon boot DVD.

Crabhunter Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thank you, I see now. I'm going to have to roll my sleeves up and get my hands dirty with this, I will read your guide again slowly and try to apply it to the dvd image.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Let me know if it works or what you discover...I have no idea if it can work like that. I know Lion Cache Cleaner (nice OS X multi tool from Alaska) can create an install DVD from the Lion App Store package but to use that you would still need a Chameleon boot CD or flash drive.
