What OS X? The retail versions of Panther and Jaguar are, IIRC, CD. Tiger came on DVD but that machine won't take Tiger without XPostFacto. You probably could hook up a DVD IDE drive and you might even be able to install it regularly. Do you have another Mac that can take the version of OS X you want and has a 3.5" IDE interface? If so you could temporarily move the HD from the iMac to the other Mac and install the OS there. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
