If you start with the iBook G3 (second computer) turned on and the Titanium (first computer) off, put the Tiger DVD in the Titanium drive, connect to the Titanium to the PBG3 with the firewire, start Titanium holding down the T key, you may see the Titanium as an icon on the iBook desk top, as described above AND you may see the DVD icon there too. Caveat: if in conflict, follow Apple's directions, not mine. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
