- Thread-topic: Leopard Server Help Needed Now
I don't want to sound like a winger but I now have another problem.
I bought the Apple Mailing from the Apple Sales Web so I could try Leopard
Server on my Xserve's. Unlike the Leopard Client I also purchased there
which was a commercial installer DVD with a not for resale sticker, Leopard
Server came as a disk image along with Xsan and Apple Remote Desktop along
with some text files with limited time serials for these programs as text
files all included on a single DVD. This DVD is not bootable. Apple should
have supplied a not for resale version like they did with Leopard Client and
put the other files on a separate CD. It would have added 50 cents to the
cost but saved hours of work for people trying Leopard Server.
I've tried burning the disk image supplied by Apple and though it shows up
in Toast & System Startup as being bootable it is unbootable and if you use
the Option Button during startup doesn't appear as a bootable disk. What is
the recommended way to make a bootable DVD from the image Apple supplied?
I've blown over $30 on blank dual layer DVDs that ended up as unbootable
disks. I've bought another $30 of blanks and need some advice lest I end up
with another bunch of coasters.
What makes things harder is G4 & G5 Xserves only came with CD drives by
default which means I have to get a bootable version of Leopard Server which
will be run from a Dual 2.7 GHz G5 Desktop machine which has a super drive
which will have the Xserve's connected to it via Target Disk Mode.
What is the best program/method to burn a bootable disk, Toast 7.1.2, Disk
Utility in 10.4.11 or something else?
Also are there any special settings/ formats I should use to make the DVD +R
DL disk bootable?
