Making a backup of an installation CD/DVD is a good plan.
(I already have some friends trying) I think that's why that Jaguar
disc went bad???
"went bad"? Not sure what you mean. I guess I could see a disc
being damaged if the drive was foo, but other than that, making a
copy does not damage a disc in any way.

It didn't go bad from copying it, I was using it to reload Jaguar
on all those Clamshells I was rebuilding and one day it stopped
working... I didn't know why but I was thinking it used up all it's
licenses??? That's when I got another Jaguar Disc and made 6 copies
of it...
To get the snarky comment out of the way, How does it feel to be a
pirate?
Each Jaguar CD comes with a license to install on 1 Macintosh
computer, unless you bought a family pack. Then it is for up to 5
installs in one household, not for computers to be given away or sold.
Apple does not enforce this license in as draconian way as MS, but a
license is a license. By installing it on more than 1 computer, you
are pirating Apple software.
That being said, there is no authorization or validation system for
Mac OS installs, YET. If the CD stopped working, it was damaged in
someway. A scratch, peanut butter on the surface or something similar.
