how long till we get a bootable X CD like os 9
hi, i was curious and its been on my mind how long we will have till os X cd's have a bootable well os X on them. one of the things thats nice about os 9 cd's that saved my important files many a times is being able to boot into it off the CD and use the finder and such. but so far for X it just goes right into set up. so i wonder if apple will ever impliment that into the X cd's.

and i think it gets difficult with the different privledges...i'm not really sure why you'd need to start up off a CD unless it was a utilities disk

The article says you install Mac OS X onto a clean hard disk, configure it exactly the way you want it, use Disk Copy to create a disk image of that hard disk, and then burn this disk image to a DVD.
I tried it, and it didn't even create the disk image properly (reported an internal error). I'm not sure if you have to boot from the hard disk that you've just installed, or boot from another installation - the article isn't clear...
It would be interesting to find out if it were really that easy!
