I'm not sure you can do that. Netboot requires Mac OS X server, if I'm not mistaken and I'm not sure that even if your other Mac was running OS X server, you would be able to install from the installation CD. I don't think that open firmware can help much either, but I'd love to be proven wrong... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Flyspeck 3 n.: Standard name for any font that is so tiny as to be unreadable (by analogy with names like `Helvetica 10' for 10-point Helvetica).
