Minimal bootable partition?
Can someone point to instructions for making a rock-bottom minimal bootable partition? (By "minimal" I mean that it doesn't have a single file in it that it doesn't need.)
TIA! kj P.S In case it matters, I'm still using OS X 10.4. |

I am sure there is a more extreme answer to this but I installed Tiger onto a 4Gb USB memory stick, including Diskwarrior, by simply using the Tiger install disk, selecting options at the appropriate point, and unticking everything I didn't need, languages, printers etc etc. It was pretty straightforward and it works.
Disk Utility tells me it has used 2.8 Gb out of 3.5 Gb capacity. Don't forget to put a GUID partition table on it if using it in an Intel mac. Mike |

Das Boot didn't work?

Unfortunately, DasBoot Isn't Leopard-Compatible
I just tried using DasBoot with OS X 10.5.2, and found that it doesn't work (as others on the 'net are reporting, too). It can't see the source CD/DVD, and it can't see any destination volumes. I've emailed the developer to see if they're planning a Leopard-compatible version, but no response yet.
I, too, am interested to know how to create a "bare bones" OS X install on a USB flash drive. This would be a great feature to add to SD! |

I'm sure they're working on it.

Try using "DasBoot" (see VersionTracker).
