On January 2, 2009, InsanelyMac's Live DVD team published a new method by which a Mac OS X v10.5.x Live DVD could be produced, allowing users to boot a fully working OS X desktop from a DVD or USB flash drive. The method was more reliable than previous methods, as it manipulated Apple's existing Netboot and Imageboot functionalities, and behaved as if the system was running off a network disk. It was also easier to produce, requiring only a single script be added to an existing installation, and a distribution of the live DVD has been made since. It is notable that this method has been shown to work on normal Apple Mac hardware since.
