scj312 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 is there a way to disable from the package the PRINTER and X11 by default?so that everytime we install it, we dont have to uncheck those options mention above. thanks If you edit the OSInstall.mpkg you can make it so those items are no longer able to be installed.

failurbydesign Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 im working from the 9A581 build... is it possible to use these instructions?? i cant seem to get this method to work that is described here it always has an error regarding it cant find the disc or somemthing right at the end..... thanks again everyone############################################## ######## REAL GUIDE HOW TO BURN ON SINGLE LAYER DISK###### ############################################## The other guides give an large image. This one is the real deal. Look for a program called Carbon Copy Cloner on google. Open the image in the program and deselect Xcode Tools Under System/Installation/Packages you will need to deselect some Printer Drivers and some language files. I only left the one I really use. Use disk utility and create a new image, size 4.7GB (SL DVD) and use this image as the destination in Carbon. Otherwise you might end up with a big file (7GB) with only 4GB of data on which isn't burnable on a SL DVD. Remember to deselect the same files under the installations options or the install will fail. IF YOU WANT ALL THE LANGUAGES FILES JUST INSTALL EACH PKG AFTER.

Korrupted Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks guys, but I also wondering if it is possible to rip the PPC binaries out too (and vice versa), to make the disk smaller (like maybe half size). Were you able to do this successfully? If so, how much space did it save? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffy69 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 i use a hackintosh with 10.4.9 to make a bootable SL image. but everytime i insert the SL-DVD into my ibook, it cant boot from it. my ibook recognizes the dvd and shows the content (except the big X in the background from the finder window) but everything else fails. has anyone any idea on how to fix that?

b8ino Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I found a problem during the process: my disk utility is bugged, so i can't restore the original disc image to the spareimage one.. I was trying to do it from the console, but i'm not so good.. Do you have any info about it? or another software to do it with instead of Disk Utility?

Onixs Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Cubric: Did you burn the image on the hackint0sh machine using disk utility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubric Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 no rals2007, i was using Tiger on my MBP. but do i have to burn it through Disk Utility? because i did it through the Finder Window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onixs Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Cubric: Had the same problem before. i wasted several dvd just to overcome this problem. All i did is LOCK the image then used the disk utility to burn. I don't know what is the connection of that LOCK. But it worked for me. Burned several dvd using the same method was a success. Try it, then post the result here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
