I have a Snow Leopard DVD that was copied from the original. All it says on the CD is "Snow Leopard" How can I tell what version of the DVD it is? The DVDs were only released in versions 10.6.0 and 10.6.3.

Are you asking just out of curiosity or is their a specific reason behind it?– nohillside ♦Commented Feb 17, 2012 at 19:57

@patrix I'm making a NetInstall image of it for a Netboot server and want to make sure I have 10.6.3 and not 10.6.0.– Matt LoveCommented Feb 17, 2012 at 20:01

I have a 10.6.2 here, came together with the late 2009 iMac.– nohillside ♦Commented Feb 17, 2012 at 20:13

Yeah, that's an special build for your iMac. The DVDs I'm talking about are the reference releases sold by Apple in stores.– Matt LoveCommented Feb 17, 2012 at 20:16

You should be able to see the OS version by going to System Preferences > Startup Disk. If it doesn't show in Startup Disk for some reason, you can run the following command in Terminal:
defaults read "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion" ProductVersion
If your DVD is not called "Mac OS X Install DVD" then you'll need to replace that part of the command with the actual disc name.
