This should not be a problem. I used a external 2.5 Disk to boot Tiger Installation (FW 400). I'm not sure about USB, but Fierwire should work (be bootable). On Jun 6, 2010, at 2:48 PM, yawg wrote: Hi, This is a tad OT but somehow my question might fit in. I just grabbed from OWC's

I installed Leopard on an external drive from another machine and just ran my Sawtooth from the external drive. I used an iBook G4 then. I did run it on a 450 mhz machine. Slow but useable. Marty On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 12:19 PM, John Carmonne carmo...@aol.com wrote: On Jun 6, 2010, at
