How to create a drag install?
Syntho:
I want to create a drag install of OS8.6. How would one go about doing that?
supernova777:
do a fresh install from cd onto a freshly formatted drive or partition and then save the entire drive after the install to a stuffit file.
this is all diehard did i think but he booted up into a different drive before ever starting up the new install that way he captured it after install, but before first boot up, preserves the "First login" experience etc
coachla:
Interesting.... i just take the original Finder out of the original System Folder (replacing it after to copy process is complete) and drag both of them separately to their backup or drive destination (in the latter case, as the last step, I drag the copied Finder back into the copied System Folder). I don't bother with invisible files since authorization keys are not usually useably retained anyway.

This is done by Apple to distribute the very last copies of Mac Os 9.2.2 maily for 2003 MDD. AFAIK
