Hi Severin, One other idea is to make a partition on the local hard disk and clone a copy of the DVD there - this would mean you'd always have a copy handy, even if your DVD failed - touch wood.

That would not have helped me today as I could only boot from a DVD but it seems like a neat idea and presumably the basic Leopard install would be faster. Has anyone else come across this and will it actually work?
