Need help creating a bootable SL image

[utwarreng]

I bought the family upgrade pack for SL so we could upgrade my mother's, sister's, and my Macbooks but my sister lives about 9 hours away from us. So before I mail her our disc I wanted to make a copy of the disc to have here just in case. Also, to kill two birds with one stone I wanted a bootable image on my external hard drive for when I do my own clean install (happy, but not fully satisfied with the upgrade).

What format do I need to have the partition of my external hard drive? Should I use the built-in disk utility to create my image? Which settings should I be using?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think the reason no one is helping you is you're violating the TOS of the family pack. It's not for members of your family who live 9 hours away, the family pack is for 5 computers in the same dwelling.

It's piracy and you will get no help here. family pack is people living at the same address with exception for a college student in a dorm.
