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. 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.
