try hooking your computer up to another computer that has a dvd drive. you can target the machine and then it will think your's is just an external drive and you go thru the normal install procedure, but choose 'your machine' instead of the one that has the dvd drive. it will work just fine.

Subject: Tiger install, no firewire was Re: My iMac 233 with 10 tiger is not playing well with my Pismo with 10.4, or my 9.0 G4 tower


Different person here, but I just installed Tiger from CDs on a 350mHz SL with no firewire. I'd expected to have lots of problems but it went just as easily as any other OS install. I did the Upgrade option from 10.3.9 to 10.4. Surprised the heck out of me, and made me ecstatic I hadn't gone through all the hoops I'd been expecting.

How did you install tiger without a firewire port?
