OS X equivalent of Windows Slipstream

Does anyone know of a solution for OS X similar to Windows' slipstream?

Slipstreaming is the process of applying service packs and patches to a windows install CD, so that you have install media that is totally up to date.

I'd like to make such a DVD for OS X 10.4, that already has 10.4.4 and all patches applied.

Or, at least 10.4.4 pre-applied would be beneficial.

Thanks!

TiBook 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1GB / Airport / 60GB / Combo

There is no such animal. Each combo updater released by Apple will update any incremental version of OS X to the current incremental version (within a major version number.)

The closest you would come would be to create a Net Restore DVD that would have a "standardized" copy of OS X that could be used to install on multiple computers. For more on that visit www.bombich.com. Also see this article:
