You need to make a “Read Only”, so you protect the content of the DiskImage.

[Craig Alan] “On a mac pro 8 core the cd/dvd master option creates the image much faster on my external drive. that seems weird.”

Not at all a LOT of things work faster when you tell it to use a drive other then the system drive. The system drive is keeping fairly busy running the OS after all.

As for CD/DVD Master vs Read Only both will work just fine.

Thanks Zane and Rafael.

Zane, what I meant was that the CD/DVD master option created the image much much faster than read only option. Both without compression. Why would that be?

If, therefore, I stay with cd/dvd master option, is there any difference in how I would use them?

Open all images on desktop, launch the studio disk install, and it will load the others as needed? That’s how I installed FCS2.

Also I have one of each kind of format now. Is mix and match ok?

I want the most efficient way possible since we have a site license and I will be installing on several computers.
