As an addendum to my previous post:

folder off of your bootable OS install CD are all you need, a simple copy
from CD to disk should do it. ..."
However I just remembered that the iMac will need a rom file (Mac OS ROM)
found normally in the System Folder. It may or may not be easy to find on
your install CD; so you might end up going through a minimal installation
instead of a copy (if you can't find the rom file, you will have to
install on something). Having to do an actual installation probably takes
the Zip 100 and 250 disks out of the running; just like Linux they need
space for temp files even though the actual installation might fit (and
your installer could tell you something like "requires X MB for
installation", but it really has to be 50-100 MB bigger than that figure
for temp space during the install itself).
