This is awesome! Got an error on my hackintosh though. Said it couldn't get the UUID of my drive (error 35). When i try it out on my MBP it works like a charm. My hackintosh problem is probably due to my install or something. Hoping to use my newly updated 10.5.5 install CD to reinstall using boot 132. I love that it slims it down to a single layer DVD. Great work! Quick question, if i choose the PC option, it will still allow for a mostly vanilla install right? This is my goal with the boot 132 but i'm having tons of problems getting it to work so far. This may be a good alternate method for me.

As it is, no.

It wouldn't be a massive task to edit the actual script to work on Tiger, but you would also need to change the support files for Tiger compatible versions.

If you select PC compatible and then select none of the compatibility pkgs the install will be extremely close to vanilla (with the exception of the removed language packs, PPC binaries... etc.). The chameleon bootloader will still be used, but the resulting disk would be pointless. You could use it with a boot 132 CD containing the necessary kext, but you can do that with the retail disk or a Intel Mac compatible backup made by this utility. You wouldn't be able to boot to a working system directly from the resulting DVD.

And if I will use this utility with my PowerPC computers?

Currently testing it, it has been running for 30+ minutes and it said it'd take about 11 minutes. I'll let it run for one more hour since my dvd drive is very busy, and the program seems to be working. edit: it took about an hour to complete.
A progressbar would be nice, or somekind of activity indicator, and more osx friendly colors are welcome as well

update: image succesfully created (after 2 hours), I'll test it tomorrow.. seems like this app is working quite well!

Thanks ritalin
