I am trying to create a bootable CD for Tiger. I copied the image of my OS X install disk 1. Now I want to get rid of everything from that image except what is needed to boot up on Tiger. What is needed and what can I get rid of from that image?
Got a tip for us?

Why do you want to create a bootable disk?
Do you want to have something to boot from to fix a failed boot drive?
If this is the case, may I suggest cloning your entire boot drive to a external drive?
A simple hold option and you can boot from it, have all of your software, settings etc at your disposal to fix/reverse clone the original. Or boot off the clone until a replacement drive arrives.

Darn, I wrote a long post to help you, but I got logged out or something and now it's gone. Can't even go back in Safari history to get it.
