Hi Firstly, upgrade to 10.2.4 It appears to be pretty stable for most people. Secondly, stop using Norton. I've read nothing but bad news re: Norton and OSX. There appears to be no good reason for using it. Check MacFixIt for more details. What exactly are you wanting to do in Norton? There are no doubt other programs that will do it better. DiskWarrior for one. Thirdly, you can't make a start-up disk. As far as I know, Apple will not allow any manufacturer of software to make an OSX start-up disk. Not even the Number One product DiskWarrior is allowed to do this. However, I think DiskWarrior has been allowed (in the last couple of weeks) to build a disk which will boot directly into a pseudo OSX, rather than booting into OS9 as in previous versions. However it is not a true OSX system, only one that looks like it. Apple do not want anyone to be able to create their own OSX system, as that would allow programmers to alter the base system. Altering this base system would make OSX unstable. If you haven't noticed yet, OSX is currently extremely stable, and I for one would like it to remain so.
