You might be able to mount the DVD on the dvd-less mac over AppleShare.
Give it a try, I have a vague memory of having done something similar in
the past.



Hi all,

For the archives:

Thanks for everyones suggestion.
Not having a firewire cable, I duplicated the DVD (via the finder) on the DVD machine (emac).
This created a folder (copy)
Then dropped that folder into the shared folder on the emac
Mounted the  shared folder  on the CD (G4) Mac desktop.
Ran the installer from the G4

Bingo

Garage Band on a DVD-less Mac (This will be a fun weekend)

cheers,

Stew
