Mac OS X Server 10.4: System Image Utility won‘t include Xcode in customized image created from 10.4.3 DVD

When creating a customized NetInstall image from the Mac OS 10.4.3 Installation DVD, you may notice that the Xcode package isn't selectable.

To work around this issue, create the disk image without the Xcode package, then follow these steps:

  1. After creating the NetInstall image, open the resulting .nbi folder.
  2. Double-click the Install.dmg file to mount the disk image.
  3. Remove the contents of the Xcode Tools folder at the root level of the image.
  4. Copy the XcodeTools.mpkg and Packages folder from the Installation DVD to the Xcode Tools folder.
  5. Eject the the image.
