Thanks for replaying...!
I think I messup the 'root user' part of the thing. Im trying all again now. I'll post my results.
Do you mean the pasword MUST be 'bootcd'? or could be anything else?

Thanx again.


EDIT: Just wondering, I had a problem in the past when I first tryed to install OSX on my laptop from the DVD drive; "'/com.apple.boot.plist' not found" (due some hardware configuration I guess). I made it work anyway installing from VMware to native partiton, but my question now is; wouldnt be possible to 'fix' this by tweaking the boot sector on the install dvd?.....

The root password is bootcd. The netinfo database inside my files contains it.

Ok, didnt go much further.
I set the 'root user' to auto login. Password 'bootcd'. Reboot to check. Everything seems OK.

Now, if I use the RC script from the 'PART II' guide (post #35), The boot goes fine. Right after loading the screen drivers (Titan), 'preloading window server' message. The screen goes to blue and then I get the login window, but no way to login (password doesnt work).

If I use the last RC script from post #47, I get 'netinfo connection failed for 127.0.0.1/local' error
and then after loading the screen drivers the blue screen is not coming and I get;

'unable to read configuration file /private/etc/cups/cupsd.config' 
'......login window started'
'.....login window security agent'
'.....dock updater could not create dock fixup preferences'
'.....unable to open /var/root/library/widgets/'
'.....method_cgsevent in class NSevent is obsolete and will be removed....."

In both cases I tryed deleting and not deleting caches & preferences....

I'll keep on trying...

[BlackCH]

YESSSSSS! It worked!!
Used the complete zip from post #47, and followed to the letter the guides....

Thanks modbin for sharing this!!

I'll see if I can mod the boot track so I can use the dvd in my laptop without need of VMWARE ("'/com.apple.boot.plist' not found" boot problem)

the method definitely works.
I would like to include a reduced version of the OS X installer.
I put the system/installation folder with some packages inside the dvd but I dont know how to execute the installer....
would this be possible at all?

It would be nice to post the tutorial in the how-to section or in the wiki with all the updated files and instructions, and clearing the points where the rest had doubts.
