The files that I did move over, came over read-only. About 30 folders,
thousands of files. I can change permissions individually, manually
via Get Info, but is there a way to change them all with a fewer set
of commands, even through Terminal?

The DA was able to see the DVD drive on the imac even through the
ethernet cable. However, when I tried to run the installer, it said
can't install this software on this computer.

If I remove the hard drive from the imac and plant it in the DA, I'd
assume there would be no ownership issues or problems accessing the
files, correct? Seems immensely difficult to get to that hard drive,
though. I am trying to work with these older macs spending as little
as possible on upgrades and so forth, so I'd prefer to just get Tiger
on the DA without sourcing a one use only dvd drive.
