But as you said, this is not something the everyday user is going to  
do.  I know *techs* that aren't even aware of these tools (admittedly  
they are independent types, not enterprise, types, but still).

It is possible to order a media kit from Apple; this is how the CD  
distro of Tiger was done, and it can also be used to by media specific  
to your machine.  The fact that your Genius said "No" doesn't mean  
it's not possible, it just means the Genius you talked to may not know  
any better.

Call Apple support and ask.  If enough people do this, there might be  
a resolution.  It's been shown multiple times that Apple responds to  
numbers.
