This isn't strictly relevant but I was delighted to discover how easy it is to make an emergency Os 10.2 boot CD - complete with third-party utilities of my choice - using the free BootCD from http://www.charlessoft.com/ Having had a bad experience with Carbon Copy Cloner, my options seemed limited, especially since the Apple system restore DVD which came with my 1Ghz 15in TiBook offered no interactivity whatsoever with my installed system. But BootCD created a cut-down boot disk using only my installed system as the source... and since the whole process required only some two mouse clicks from me, any idiot can do it right, first time.
