1.Insert your MacOS X 10.1 Update CD 2.Fire up "Disk Copy" from /Applications/Utilities 3.Select from the Menubar "Image | New Image from Device..." 4.Select your CD-ROM drive's contents from the resulting dialog 5.Image it as a "DVD/CD Master" type (this will take a little while)
Modifying the CD contents 1.Control-click (or right-click) on the resulting disk image 2.See that it's mounted 3.Navigate with the Finder to System/Installation/Packages on mounted image 4.Select the "Essentials.pkg" file... 5....by right-clicking on it and select "Show Package Contents" 6.In the pop-up Finder window, navigate to Contents/Resources/ 7.Drag "CheckForOSX" to the Trash and close all these Finder windows
Burning your new Install CD 1.Go back to Disk Copy and select from the Menubar "Image | New Image from Device..." 2.Select the mounted volume you opened up above and make another "DVD/CD Master" image 3.Now select from the Menubar "Image | Burn Image..." 4.Select your newly modified .dmg file 5.Burn it to CD
