Product Description:

RsyncXCD is based on the latest release of bootCD. This CD allows you to pull down from your network server a loadset image folder to a machine that has only its hard drive and CDROM as possible boot sources. This CD will let you connect to your server as an Mac OS X client, and cleanly install your image folder onto a volume that later you will boot from. For best results with older machines, burning at 4x or slower speeds is recommended.

What's new in this version:

This version is based on the v2.1 release of RsyncX.

Operating System Requirements:

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

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

The RsyncXCD 2.1 disk image contains a crippeled but bootable Mac OS X 10.2.8 (G5) containing the following Apps: RsyncX 2.1, TextEdit, System Preferences, Apple System Profiler, Console, Disk Utility, and Terminal (I added DiskWarrior 3.0.1 to have a complete repair set).
Network connections only worked via Ethernet; AirPort did not work for me - maybe the required frameworks for WLAN were too big to implement.
