Can an OS be loaded w/ an external one? He has a spare DVD drive from a PC,
can he just pick up a FireWire external enclosure and load it that way?

Subject: Re: Indigo iMac DVD upgrade
I have a friend that just bought an iMac indigo w/ CD rom. He's asking
about
swapping out the internal CD for an internal DVD. Can this be done with
one
of the DVD drives from like an iMac DV?

I don't see why not. As far as I know the chassis is virtually identical.
In
fact if you can find a 2002 or later iMac you can probably get a DVD
burner,
albeit a slow one.
On a side note, you can buy a brand new external Firewire Double Layer
DVD+-RW 16X drive for around $100. That would be much better than any old
slot load CD or DVD drive you find.
