I'm not a Mac user yet (very soon, hopefully) but check Apple support article
at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229 which states the
following:
Want to reinstall a part of Mac OS X 10.4 after it's already installed?
It's
easy!
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc.
2. Double-click the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
3. After the installer opens, you can choose from the following
custom install options:
4. You can expand each section (except Additional Fonts) by
clicking the disclosure triangle to the left of the section name, if you
want even more specific custom install options. Once you've
selected the items, simply click OK, then click Install.
Here's a complete list of all the custom installation options available
with
Optional Installs.mpkg:
Applications
Address Book 4.0
iCal 2.0
iChat 3.0
iTunes 4.7.1
Mail 2.0
