The install is nearly universal and will work on any machine that OS supports (other than PPC / Intel issues). The one exception that I know of is that if the target of the install doesn't have a DVD drive then the DVD Player App won't be installed. But this only affects playing DVDs and nothing else, including data access of DVDs. > > Another reason: I didn’t know if one could boot from a carbon copy of > the installer DVD.
