I know how to do this on a PC, but does anyone know how to create a CD that will auto-launch under OS X ?

That's not possible.

Mac OS X has no autorun feature, to prevent malicious code from being ran from a CD or USB drive.

The best idea is to customize the look of the CD's finder window i.e. to include instructions on how to install your app, or on the information included.

groovy ... thanks for the quick responses. I knew apple had disabled the auto launch years ago, but didn't know if they reinstated it in the later versions of OS X. Essentially all I'm doing is autolaunching a website into a browser.

Thanks for the comments!
