Tray Loaders can only boot from the hard drive and the CD drive. That's why i didn't suggest it. Anyway, just pull the drive and put it in a PowerPC computer that can boot from DVD and go from there. (If you do intel, it will either A)not boot the DVD or B) install an intel-specific version

I just installed Tiger on my Blueberry iMac by pulling its hard drive, putting it in my PowerMac, installing Tiger, and then putting the hard drive back in. You might want to know that Dashboard is slow on these, but still useable. On Nov 11, 2009, at 11:34 AM, ./aal wrote: > > On Wed, Nov 1
