Observation on Disk Utility in 10.6.4 #313

Thanks for all the good work you've done on this software. I am having fun with 
my brand-new Dell Nickelodeon mini 10v... This isn't really a bug report, but 
an observation I haven't seen reported elsewhere.

I attempted to use Disk Utility on my 10.6.4 MacBook to create the OSX install 
DVD. I was unable to drag the "Mac OS X Install DVD" to the Source, as 
described in all the guides. It just wouldn't work: there was never a green "+" 
that showed you could drop it into the source field. (I was able to drag the 
flash drive name to the destination, though - it was just the source of "Mac OS 
X Install DVD" that failed.)

I ultimately had to boot off the install DVD itself, and use Disk Utility there 
to create the install DVD on the flash drive.

I believe there's a difference in the version numbers: on the 10.6 Install DVD, 
Disk Utility is version 11.5 (298). On my 10.6.4 MacBook, it's version 11.5.1 
(298.1).

I don't know if this actually makes the difference, but that's what I had to do.

Many thanks!
