Mactron's Rescue Boot CD

[Philgood]

I used for the first time Mactron's Restore & Rescue CD that he compiled.

I have to say that you did a perfect job and thank you so much to make that publicly available to us.

I'm having a hard time with that *new MDD 867 Dual to recognize all the 4 Protools  PCI cards I recently purchased but that's for another thread/post...

Back to Mactron's CD...

I used it to restore the OS 9.2.2 that is included to the system harddrive and it did the job in less than 5 minutes. It's so much more convenient to restore an image than to install fresh.
I also did an Techtool System Scan to check all components in that Mac.
Very nice...the CD includes maaaany Programs and Utilities.

But I'm having some questions
The .pkg named Programs are supposed to be opened while booted from the CD ?
I got an error message when I tried to open Classilla for example that said that it couldn't run with that OS version.
Are these packages(.pkg ?) meant to be dragged to the new restored system drive or should it be possible to run them all while be booted from CD?

I'll second that!!! I LOVE that 'Mactron's Restore & Rescue CD'... and MacTron/DieHard for making it available!!!

I was a bit confused with the 'package' thing too.

I was a little confused with the package thing also.

Remember, the Mactron "LABS" products are a team of 16 technicians, there is no way one guy can be this talented, LOL

Seems that there is a little problem with the Disk format, It only mount as ISO (Joliet) and it should mount as NFS, that's why the .pkg don't work as expected, fortunately the main functionality seems to remains intact.
 

I got an error message when I tried to open Classilla for example that said that it couldn't run with that OS version.

I'll will check this issue too.

Well, i have to admit i burned the downloaded toast straight on my powerbook under 10.5 with...disk utility!
Didn't even know it could burn the toast format...was very suprised.

Could it be that it got screwed because of that reason ?

No, the download file seems to be damaged somehow ...

I'll make a new image file when I have some free time...
