Hello, I want to make my own installation dvd Leopard 10.5.4 with all needed drivers and programs for my hackintosh :D
so is this very difficult? Can someone give me a link to tutorial or something :) Thanks

i am currently doing this and the available info is slim to say the least. The install DVD is literaly a running version of OSX. When you tell it to install it runs an installation script which tell it which options you have made where the install files are located on the dvd. Best suggestion I can give is have a good poke round the install dvd make an image of it and go from there. Oh and also tell OSX to show all files in terminal or you wont see much.

Has anyone tried to implement the Finder in an installation DVD, exceuteable in the 'Utilities' menu.

what do you mean?

The old Mac OS had a finder you booted into off the cd. It was really handy in recovering a botched system back then and would be now, especially for us.

In the folder Applications/Utilities/ are the tools which can be started in the 'Utilities' menu of the installer dvd. Why not copying the Finder from CoreServices to this directory? Maybe it will be listed in the Utilities menu.

naquaada i tried it when i made my custom install dvd :) the utilities drop down menu didn't worked.

And renaming Finder to another tool, f.e. Startvolume? We don't need this on our machines.
