@ Puttabong:

Thanks for the flowers ;-) Did you know uphucks 10.4.9 image, with the animated turkish flag in the installation document file?
But now to my comments, I hope they would finish it up.

@ eddie11c:

Oh boy, I feel like in old JaS times! He also couldn't stand a bit of critics. It's true, I haven't created an own installation DVD, others could do this better. And that's the point - I saw a lot, better and worse than yours. If you want a better looking one, take a look on Zephyroth's. The installation menu is perfect, the DVD looks and works as it should be. So I don't have to do my own. But - His system has some problems. He knows that and reacts to the information he gets, and that's what I really like on him. Your system seems to be error-free, but the first impression is always the installation DVD. If it's not easy to use it's no Apple-style and this is bad.

Have you tried to install a different language? I know the bug of all selected languages, Kalyways has it i think, but the language used at the installation can't be deselected, so you don't have to remove all, only the main point. Languages are a problem - removing some <could> show a user that a country is less worth than another one. Kalyway has only 4 languages, Zephyroth's 10.5.1 RC1 only two - but he reacted to the requests and reinstalled all languages again. Your image is the only one which doesn't auto-select the language during the installation I think. Why?

3rd-party programs: I also have some I always install even on my recovery partition, like LiteIcon, Leopaque, Docker, Butler, Onyx, a set of new folder icons, stack icons and so on, I modify my system very strong. It would be easier for me if this would be directly installed during the installation, it would save me a lot of time. But I never would do this on an installation DVD if I'd made one because every user should get a system which looks like a fresh OS X whitout changes. 3rd-party programs aren't Apple-style and if there are never versions out they waste space on the DVD. If you forget to uncheck the point you have a large applications folder and a lot of preferences files on your harddisk which you don't need and you even know of. That's why I never would pack 3rd-party soft on an DVD. If you want to try someting new, try to pack the full iLife '08 on the DVD, no one did this before, only iPhoto or so. iLife is a part of a standard Mac OS installation and so it belongs on a DVD.

Like I said: the first impression is the installation DVD. For people who saw maybe one or two it's maybe ok, but I know about 20. My peronal judgement: Installation DVD: mid-class - System: first class.

@ bajanboy:

Wow, it's great to have a man-of-all-knowledge here. If you're sure if I bought M$ software then you surely now my favourite AmigaDOS command and the graphics program I mostly used on the C64. I only buy software what's worth the money, on the C64 and Amiga I bought software in the 90's (because you could afford it), for the PC nothing and for the Mac I bought also already programs - PayPal and high Euro makes it possible. I paid for Eddies image so much like for all other images, and I hope this will stay this way. JaS later put up his begging web page to donate for his Macbook - this is making money with illegal software. The images we use are all hacks, so they doesn't have to cost anything. With the ungrateful - you're the typical negative guy who's only remembering the bad things and not that I also said something positive. Think about it.

End sentence: I hope this discussion doesn't go for the next 92 pages. There are more important things to talk about.

Something different: Does anybody know a program which changes the short name in Leopard? I'm creating systems for my friends and I don't want to do the whole process again and again with a new short name. I had a prog like this for Tiger (or you could do it manually with the Netinfo Manager) but this doesn't work in Leopard anymore.
