Guys, how do I proceed to creat a boot diks from my mac?

I've heard about BoodCd but it still not working on mac OS X Tiger.
Do you know any other good app?

Thanks

In 10.4.8... you don't.

The hdik tool, which you need to make a RAM disk, won't work without the rest of the OS being loaded AFAICT. But to get the rest of the OS running from a boot CD, you need a RAM disk. Catch-22.

Even Apple's own System Image Utility didn't work on 10.4.8 the last time I tried it. That should tell you something.

Maybe this situation will improve in Leopard. Then again, maybe not.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Charles, I don't believe that's right. Obviously, Apple's Tiger DVD boots Macs..and so will Leopard's. So it's certainly possible.
