Product Description:

Cocoa app that creates a disk image that can be used to burn a Mac OS X boot CD that has a working Finder and Dock on it. This utility is unfinished and still has some flaws, but works. The current version works much better than previous versions, and includes the ability to run DiskWarrior or other disk utilities.

What's new in this version:

  • Made BootCD more conservative about what extensions it lets onto the CD, hopefully solving the problem some people were having with kernel panics at startup
  • Hopefully solved a problem where DiskWarrior would sometimes complain about being installed incorrectly
  • Added a Spanish version of the Instructions file by Carlis Flores

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther)
  • BSD subsystem installed (default OS X installation satisfies this condition)

CharlesSoft stopped working on BootCD 2 years ago, it will not be updated. Considering it was donationware, you really can't complain.

10.3 is to old and not useful or up-to-date. Skip making a version work with 10.3 and get up to date with one that will work with 10.5.2 which will be out soon.

We are on the doorstep of Leopard 10.5.
