If you want OSX 10.4 on CD's, you need to send Apple $10, *and*
the purchased OS X 10.4 DVD, and a proof of purchase coupon.
[Apple is not very trusting, eh???]
Don't know if this an option for you, but it worked for me. You can
boot a Mac with a DVD drive into Target disk mode and use the internal
DVD drive to install onto the DVD drive-less Mac by holding down option
at boot. My PB has been invaluable as a $2000US FW hard drive and
dvd/cd drive. Now if only there were a target display mode and target
USB keyboard/mouse mode, it would really be an invaluable tool in the
field (not that it hasn't saved my ass repeatedly).
