Of all the people
who could create a Universal OS X boot disk (*cough* Apple *cough*), is anyone surprised that MacOSXHints (as
far as I know) got there first? Top it off with the fact that they also created a NetBoot image and, well... now
they're just making everyone else look bad (*cough!*).This article at MacOSXHints describes the first half of the process - creating a Universal, bootable image of OS X - and it sounds pretty darn easy. The second step - enabling the Universal image with NetBoot superpowers - is right here. I haven't used either of these (since I don't have a shiny Intel Mac anyway), but they both sound like pretty simple little tricks. Enjoy.

I have a Windows XP machine, a Gentoo linux machine, a B&W G3 (rev.2) running OS9 and a MacBook Pro. I have 10.3.2 install CDs, and for some reason, the G3 won't boot off of them. The CD will mount, but I can't set it to be a startup disc (it's greyed out) and when I hold C when booting, the computer just doesn't boot. I don't know what to do! How easy/difficult is it to make a NetInstall image without OS X Server? What can I do?
