Thanks for the responces david and scott. Do you think the mac will still be able to boot from usb since its only 1.1? I took off the back plastic section to clean it out with compressed air and I found the ide cable for the internal cd drive, so if i'm left with no other option i'll just have to do a bit of a dirty hack and install with the case open, upside down with a ide dvd rom drive on my desk. hmmm. Thanks.
