During development/testing they are handy just to drop in places to attract my attention. e.g. If I what to see the output from thinToArch, I can drop playMp3 "${mp3three}" before the thinToArch call in the main method.

If you mean you would like to get rid of the Hexley logo on the DVD install screen, then you need to edit/remove the following before running Hexley:
/Library/Application\ Support/HexleySupport/OSInstall.mpkg/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/background.jpg

Regards language: Hexley in itself is English only, but feel free to translate it as you wish. The backup DVD and system it will install are stripped of most languages to save space. Previous versions of the script included a language selector so you could choose which language to keep. It's something I need to reintroduce.

Dual layer backup? Just use Toast or Disk Utility. [EDIT] Duh! That wouldn't include the latest update. So you want to update the DVD but strip nothing out and keep it D/L? It worth looking at.

Thanks for the work you have done testing this. It's nice to know the Intel Mac backup DVD works.

Version 0.5 is out, see first post.

Now includes language chooser, Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel Release 1.0 rev A, Improved CPUID patcher (need to make that optional), plus a bunch other bug fixes.
Thanks to zephyroth for his help on finding CPUIDs.

Does the OSX install disk utility work with 10.4 and below retail disks, aswell?

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.
