Hmm, not sure about a USB drive, however it is possible using a FW DVD drive attached to a FW PCI card. I installed Tiger on my 9600/G3 using an external FW DVDR/W drive, XpostFacto uses a bit of HD space as a helper to get it started. I'll be interested to hear if a USB card works, give a try, eh? dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
