Anyone Got An Old Copy Of Os X 10.3 Panther?

You sure it has to be CD? You may be able to use firewire: boot the computer into target mode and then install from another Mac with a DVD drive. (Or boot say, a Powerbook, into target mode and use its drive on the other machine.) Of course, if you haven't got firewire on the Mac in question this won't work ;)

 

Tiger'll work fine with older Macs, may be worth considering? (If you've got any spare licences. Bit of a gray area but a family pack's got 5 for "family", not that there is any copy protection or licencing checks.) I recently installed it on a mate's Pismo and it runs remarkably well, esp. given that it's a 500MHz G3 with 128MB of memory!

Hi Stef

 

Thanks for the reply. I thought I'd go the Panther route as I only have the 1 Mac now (sob..sob..) It is a Power Mac G4 533Mhz Digital Audio with just a CD/RW (& it was a cheap option). I've never tried Tiger on this machine as I was told it was clunkly on anything below a 1Ghz.

 

Ahh damn the expense I'll grab a DVD drive & purchase Tiger

 

Thanks again

Ermo
