Well, I created a bootable hard drive for my own user, but Dasboot  
would be smaller and faster, and easier to show other users.

Keep in mind I'm mostly commenting on Apple not providing users with  
updated install media.  I think they should, especially since the  
original Leopard release has I/O bugs which sometimes results in data  
loss.

Most Apple users are going to follow the standard instructions  
repairing their Mac, so I think they should be able to get updated  
media for that.
