I need to upgrade a macbook pro to 10.6, but the internal dvd won't
work. My G5 has a working dvd drive, but, of course, the 10.6 drive
won't run any intel installer for me.
I am under the impression that it is possible to network the G5 and
the MBP such that they can share the G5's dvd drive, and yet load the
10.6 installer---as if the G5 was an external dvd. So, very simply,
how do I do this, step by step? I only have an ethernet cable and a
USB cable.
In order for you to utilize a remote drive you will need to network the
computer with the required cd/ dvd-rw component. In this case via router
or switch. Do you have a 4 port router?
