That would be point for me as well. But I think you can duplicate them 
under Linux because Linux is able too read the NS filesystem (usually 
you have to config that - AFAIK it is a loadable module (something with 
modprobe or like that)). Unfortunately I don't have a CD-writer which is  
usable on the Linux box I have. Maybe when I buy a new one (but will 
take some time - no money :-() I'll play around with it. I would 
appreciate a saftey copy in case the originals got hurt (what hopefully 
never will happen!!).

Under normal circumstances I would call this piracy - but here we have a 
different situation - the OS isn't maintained in any way by Apple and 
the support is more or less lousy. In this case I think copying the OS 
for people who are really interested should be okay - would Apple go 
bankrupt if a couple of users copy an old OS? I don't think so and agree 
with you. ;-)
So I'd like to ask if there's a tool (even for command line - I don't 
mind :-)) to make *.iso files from any devices? Then I could burn the 
ISO file on my Mac...
