Hello,

I want to make a CUSTOM CD (not .dmg or image FILE) and have the CD, when
mounting on a Macintosh system, open its top-level directory and display the
window with the custom icons and picture background that I have created. I
know that you can do this easily with a .dmg FILE but I want the finished CD
to work this way. I have seen some message boards that suggest that
FireStorm can do this, but I suspect it is only for .dmg files.

I have already succeeded in making the .dmg that has all the icons and
picture background using Disk Utility; I just want it to BE a CD (as opposed
to a .dmg file ON a CD) that I can distribute.

Will this require me to get into unix commands?  Is there something in
AppleScript that can help with this?

Thanks,
Bill Planey
