I&#8217;m downloaded the DVD image for OS X Tiger (because my mailing still hasn&#8217;t arrived). I do not have a DVD burner. Anywhere. Now, how can I install this over the network? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oreillynet.com\/pub\/wlg\/6976\">Target disk mode<\/a> will not be useful for me, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bombich.com\/software\/netrestore.html\">NetRestore<\/a> might help, except I need a generic OS X installation around somewhere (it seems to suggest 10.4, Tiger, which I don&#8217;t have!). If this was Fedora, I could just burn the boot.iso, and loopback mount the image! Any Mac heads know a solution? I don&#8217;t mind an ugly OF based solution either; except I can&#8217;t boot the dmg via tftpboot? <b>Update:<\/b> The mailing arrived. Of course, I decided to do a nice clean reinstallation, so I repartitioned. Guess what? No sight of 10.3 on disk means 10.4 won&#8217;t install. Urgh, nowhere on the DVD does it say &#8220;upgrade&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Looked at some Extras failures, after Jeremy kicked off a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhat.com\/archives\/fedora-maintainers\/2005-May\/msg00138.html\">rebuild<\/a>. Most of the PPC related ones have attached logs to them now, and some made it to a post-it note as &#8220;solving hopefuls&#8221;. Low hanging fruit might best be ExclusiveArch&#8217;ed. Also noticing a lot of PPC related inquiries going to fedora-test-list, rather than fedora-ppc list &#8211; this needs to change! In other news, I&#8217;m playing around with the <a href=\"http:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/\">wiki<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/SupportedPowerPC\">Supported Power PCs<\/a> &#8211; i.e. whatever we support well, or we don&#8217;t support, should be listed here on a colloborative wiki page.<\/p>\n<p>Was looking into buying a PDA &#8211; either a Tungsten E2 or some other offering from Palm.
