Mac OS 9.1 updater (updates Mac OS 9.0 - 9.0.4 to 9.1) *when finished, burn the CD - in case you're given the choice, make sure to select 'Mac OS Standard (HFS)' volume format, not 'Mac OS Extended (HFS+)' and set the Energy Saver control panel to 'never go to sleep' also set all other preferences/control panels to your preferred settings (once again, you might need to copy files over from the System Folder you're booted to for these changes to take effect)

*now you should remove anything that may have been stored in 'Startup Items' or 'Shutdown Items' inside the disk image's System Folder you might also want to remove some useless control panels, extensions, etc. *when running applications from the disk image, some applications might create preference files in the System Folder you are currentlyīooted to - in that case, just copy those preference files to the System Folder on the disk image afterwards *disable any AutoUpdate- / LiveUpdate-features, as the applications on the CD can't be updated anyway once they've been burned a serial number) - otherwise they will ask for registration when booted from the CD and therefore might not work *now run those applications on the disk image which require registration (e.g. *when using Mac OS 9.2.x, remove these files from the System Folder: 'Classic', 'Classic Support' and 'Classic Support UI' *you can now use a Mac OS installer (your original Mac OS install CD, for example) to install a System Folder to that disc image (once installed, you can also update that system using any updater) and add all applications you want (try to install them whenever possible, because simply copying things over will not always work) * fill in a name for the CD, make sure that a size of 663,000K (CD-ROM 12cm, full) is selected and 'Mount Image' is checked (checking the 'Zero blocks'-option also is a good idea) *start Disk Copy (usually located in the Utilities-folder), select Image>Create new Image. This is a way that can be used with different burning applications (they just have to be able to install the necessary wrapper code to make a volume bootable):
