My question is slip streaming. How?
To explain, I want to create a DVD that is the exact image that I
want to blast on to my machines if something bad happens. I would
like to keep it updated so I dont have to install a lot of updates,
configure settings, etc.
I have seen this done before where an install DVD was put in and it
installed OS X like normal but with the other items too.
Does anybody have any advice, thoughts, a reference to being able to
do so?
And, before it is suggested, cloning to another drive is not an
option as I want to store this DVD I create in my safe deposit box
at the bank.
I can suggest two different approaches:
1) Examine the gut of a .mpkg. Once you get the idea it is rather easy
to add things to the end of it, and then you can add your own packages
in. The hint I will give you is that on the Installer DVDs the
packages are located in the /System folder (inside there it should be
obvious where they are).
2) Look into InstaDMG, and more particularly InstaUp2Date. I have had
a hand a writing both of them and with the exception that you are not
running the installer on each computer (rather run once on a dmg), the
final result seems to be the one you want.
