You can then download the 10.5.8 combo installer and point it at that HDD, and it will update the OS to 10.5.8.

After which you could use the restore function of disk utility to essentially clone that drive to any other.

Its not quite the same as what youre looking for, but it should more or less achieve the same purpose.

Of course I am assuming youre looking to make an updated OS install disc, not some kind of LiveCD type thing.

It should be possible to do that as well, given that the Mac OS X installer is basically a stripped down OS X booting off a DVD, but I would think your primary issue would be one of space.

The 10.5 install DVD is a DL disc, though if you go in and get rid of either the x86 or PPC stuff, you can shrink it down.

You would also need to make sure that the OS was configured to boot into a read-only mode, probably using RAM disks, and there may be some programs which will not play nicely with this config.

Slipstreamed, yes thats the word from the world of Windows that I couldnt remember.

That works fine. The only problem is its not a convenient solution like a DVD would be.

I think I need a bit more help understanding the last paragraph - I understand almost all of the words, but none of the sentences Burning a DL disk is not a problem, but how do I put together the right code and burn it to a DVD to be a 10.5.8 system when its installed Can I use an installed and updated system as the basis, or do I need to juggle the contents of packages from the install DVD and the updater around.

If you extracted all the files out of the combo installer, and then just copied them over to a disk image of the 10.5 install DVD, that might well work.

Otherwise, the idea of having a master copy somewhere that you would create an image from and restore it is certainly a viable option.

Once youve made that master image, you could presumably burn that onto a DVD, though some sort of USB drive or even an SD card (if you have a model with the SD card reader built-in) would be much faster.

I will add that burned DVDs tend to have very short shelf lives.

If its a really expensive and good quality DVD, and you take good care of it, then maybe 10-15 years.
