Looks like the new kid on the block AutoDMG will be superceding InstaDMG as the preferred image maker of OSX clean never booted images. It’s currently a development product nearing a final release. It has a GUI front end which makes it super simple.

DMG Canvas helps you manage the content and appearance of disk image files using helpful templates. Choose your files, create your background image using helpful controls, and click Build. Your disk image will appear in Finder exactly as you designed it. Disk images, delivered with style. Simplified design. With DMG Canvas, creating backgrounds.

When building an image with AutoDMG the OSX version you are building on must match the image build – so building an OSX 10.9 image must be built on a OSX 10.9 Mac. AutoDMG can also build OSX 10.8.5 images. The OSX Yosemite 10.10 guide is here.

I have already created.dmg image from new custom ElCapitan including all printers, software, etc. I am trying to make boo table USB like the one with El Capitan but instead of using my custom.dmg image. I use disk imager 5 with clean El Capitan OS X and USB 16GB drive - that works fine, but how can I create the one with custom build dmg image? If DMG file is clean, it will produce an ISO file. Mounting this ISO file which came from DMG is easy in VirtualBox. Go to Virtual media manager in VB and add ISO file under CD/DVD images as below. Hope this guide is useful in mounting the DMG disk file on Virtualbox with Windows Operating System host.

Updating the OSX Mavericks Installer

Before you begin it is best to use the latest OSX Mavericks installer which is currently at 10.9.4 upgrade it hereBuild 13D65, download it via but don’t install, the installer location will override the previous installer.

When the installer is finished downloading it will prompt you to install, just quit as we will be using the installer to build the image.

Creating an AutoDMG 10.9 Mavericks Up To Date Image

Launch AutoDMG

Drag in the Mavericks installer. If you can’t find it, do a spotlight search -“Install OS X Mavericks.app“

AutoDMG will check for available updates – click the Download button to get them.

AutoDMG downloads any incremental updates.

When it’s done, Build the image.

Save to a destination and let the building begin.

All too easy!, you can deploy with DeployStudio or direct to disk with ASR.

With Apple Software Restore you can image a disk directly from the Terminal:

Change the source and target to suit.

so.netbooting a netinstall.
any takers?

Of course, if you're lucky enough to have an Xserve setup with Netboot (using Netrestore Helper app to create this Netrestore boot image) then you can boot in a minute or so (instead of the 12-15min required by bootCD.
Or use a FireWire drive with a system on it to boot from.
Also, now a new option is Panther install CD1. In disk utility there is a new 'restore from image' option. this cd boots in a minute too.
cool

true story.
Just lookin for some war stories on people who've setup netboot or install on os x server.

err or you could just boot the machine from another source firewire or cd (if ya got hell time to spare) and drop into terminal and go
sudo asr -source (drag in the source image) -target (drag in the target drive) -erase -nocheck
Done, lot quicker than messin round with netrestore, netrestore works really really well when it does fully automated restores over a network or from a restore dvd, i have built quite a few automated restore dvd's as in chuck in the dvd choose it as the startup disk have a coffee come back in about 25-30 mins and its restored only prob with this is the 4.4Gb limit take out 600 odd meg for the netrestore system and it gives you about 3.7-3.8Gig for an image

Does that copy over the resource forks?

yes it does. ASR does block file copies as long as the image being used is prepared as an ASR compatible image file. Best done as read only/compressed. Restores are much faster.
NetRestore is really a gui front end to the command line ASR that Apple included since 10.2.3

#!/bin/sh # ASR Image Bash Script # Manuel Plascencia Alhambra School District # Apple System Restores from 'Source' Macintosh_asr.dmg to 'target' /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ (Make sure Target Volume has the correct name) # -erase 'erases target volume first' # -nocheck 'skips checksum' ( this will cut your cloning in half ) # -noprompt 'will continue cloning with other user interaction' asr -source Macintosh_asr.dmg -target /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ -erase -nocheck -noprompt #Put a Stupid message Echo Alhambra School District !!!!

Script got screwed up , heres the script again below
Remember to chmod +x 'yourfile' after script is made.
This Script is assuming that the image is located in the same directory, and it is running of a firewire drive. From terminal prompt I type :
cd /Volumes/Firewire
./go ( I've named my script go , but to run it you must type ./ in front )
#!/bin/sh

don't you'd think you'd benefit from netbooting the install images, and installing them over the network, rather than lug a drive around?

Firewire drive fit in your pocket , and they weigh nothing . Besides all 150+ eMacs are in one location , in boxes. Netboot would be 4 times as slow and that is not including the Bandwidth that would be shared with X amount of eMacs , cloning would crawl unless i had a Gigabit Switch. in comparison, firewire is the Best solution.
If Symantec or Apple , made a Cloning program that would be close to ' PC GHOST' that would be awesome. Multicast Broadcast Cloning , Over a Gigabit Switch would be FAST. Or if Apple would include Firewire Over IP in the ROM then I could Daisy chain A bunch of emacs to one Firewire Drive . Theres So many ways just the Tech is not here ..

This method is all well and good, assuming that the machines are all Firewire enabled. What about older iMacs or the non-DV models. I was physically taking out the drives, putting them into a firewire bay and using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone them from a master drive.
Not only did this take hours (I did 65 iMacs), but added the possibility of damaging the machines.
We don't have an XServe or anything fancy at this particular school site, so is there some tricky command line work around?
Thanks,
M@

Create a bootup OSX CD as mentioned, boot up the old iMac from that CD, and connect up to a network share that has the image.

In that case i would netboot , or maybe create an image on a DVD-R thats bootable to a CLI , and start ASR.

? I am migrating to a powerbook and selling my G4 Tower. can i CCC my system and re-install the applications, etc. to my powerbook? Has anyone else done this and/or have an idea of going about it?
thanks in advance,
