If your CD is the startup disk, you only need a valid System Folder (and
additional OSAX, etc.).
If it isn't, you should install third-party osax/apps before running the
script.
I.e.> An OS 8.6 user won't recognize "busy status" (standard additions 9).
You should replace his/her standard additions or think about some
workarround command.
I.e.2> An OS without applescript wont't recognize "display dialog"
nor "1 + 1", because 'OSA resources' "pertain/are loaded"
"to/from" startup disk.
