[geeks] DVD install of MacOS 10.5.3 or 10.5.4

[Lionel Peterson]

Apple won't touch our builds - too large, they don't want to get near  
it.

For Dell, we have too few new machines to justify the effort, and our  
images aren't ready when we place our orders.

We have 1400 PCs and Macs in district, we replace one-fourth each year  
- evenly split between the companies.
