I'm confused... are you trying to install Tiger? Panther came on CD already...

My daughter has an iMac with a CD-RW drive and I got around this problem by starting from an external firewire DVD burner. You might also do this by removing the drive from the iMac, putting it in an external firewire case (or a different machine) and installing it using a different machine. Then, return the drive to the iMac, connect to the internet and run all the updates. I've had to do that before too.

Good luck.

No, you have to start from the CD or DVD to install 10.3, so while David COULD copy it over that way, it would do him no good.

I have copies of Mac OS X 10.3 on DVD, but need to install on an older CRT iMac (333 MHz). Does anyone have a copy on CD I could borrow? I have a family license, so that isn't the issue. I just don't know how to get it onto a CD. Perhaps someone has a CD copy and can help me. (All my other machines are upgraded to 10.4, but this one is limited.)
