I'm assuming this is probably an old question, but is it possible to make my own custom OS X86 install DVD? I usually fool around with OS X alot and every now and then i wind up messing something up and its a pain in the ass to have to re edit all my kext's for my hardware, then install all of my apps again, is there a way to make a custom install DVD with all the kext's pre-edited to my hardware, and possibly install all of my base applications (Like Firefox and Adium and such)?

 

If there is already a how to would anyone mind posting a few links for me?

 

Thanks in advanced! :)

Thx for the speedy reply but im not looking to clone. i dont have a spare hard drive to use anyways. im looking to make a bootable install DVD just like the JaS DVD or somthing, but i want to modify the kext's so that all my hardware works out of the box, that way i wont have to edit them after installing like i always do.

Well now im stumped, User2, i followed the instructions Ramjet posted on that link you gave me, when i booted the iso, all seemed normal, but when i went to select my packages to see if the one i added shows up, i saw a naked check box, just a box, no title and no destricption, figuring i did somthing wrong i checked it anyways and continued with the installation, but after i booted it up, i still had no sound, if you don;t mind, can you proof read my OSInstall.dist for any errors? the parts that i added will be in red.
