If it's in an external drive, and it's partitioned Apple Partition Map, then you "should" be able to install 10.4 onto any partition. I've done this many times on Firewire external enclosures. I've also installed onto (and booted from) external USB enclosures on clamshell iBooks. Are you certain the Pismo firmware is current, it should be version 4.1.8f5. If the firmware is current, and you can't install onto your selected partition, you might try booting using XPostFacto to install with. XPF has a way to overcome any installer limitations. After you installed using XPF, you wouldn't need to install the XPF extensions onto the new, clean installation, you could just boot it directly from the new clean install. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
