InstaDMG:

1. Downloaded InstaDMG placing the folder (and keeping the structure of it's subdirectories) in the root of the drive.

2. Read all the documentation. 

3. Created a BaseOS image from the system disc of a Macbook (Late 2008) Leopard Version 10.5.5

a. Open DiskUtil and selected New Image source is the DVD and Target was root of system drive. (Read-Only)

b. Renamed BaseOS and placed in subdirectory \InstallerFiles\BaseOS\ of InstaDMG folder.

4. Prepared Updates - Complete list of updates here. Very helpful for tracking them. 

a. Downloaded Update 10.5.6 and opened dmg and pulled out mpkg placing in subdirectory \InstallerFiles\BaseUpdates\ of InstaDMG folder

b. Downloaded rest of updates needed and placed .pkg(s) in same subdirectory.

5. Prepared Office 2008 and Symantec - COMING SOON

In the beginning...

Okay, sigh....

Goals: 

1. Create CLEAN, untouched OSX images

a. Able to update without recreating

b. Able to customize without rewriting

2. Deploy using NetBoot/Multicasting

Tools:

1. InstaDMG - Modular OS X creation toolset

2. Iceberg - Package creation tool (Creates packages from .app(s))

3. CarbonCopyCloner - Single system Image to System deployment

4. DeployStudio - Deployment solution for localized or netboot/multicast image deployment

Notes: 

Image creation is the most intensive learning curve. Apple scripting and bash will be crucial.
