[iBook] OSX loading

[Mark Kippert]

If that's on the label under the keyboard the you are correct in that  
it is a CD-ROM only. There were educational model that were CD only.  
You can confirm this in About this Mac; More Info; ATA; then click on  
the drive for more info. Or...stick a movie in and see if it plays or  
spits the disk out.

As for getting install CDs from Apple after purchasing a retail  
version of Tiger, Apple discontinued that option.

Two options you can try:

1) Connect an external FireWire DVD drive (USB won't work) and  
install from that.

2) Start the iBook in Target-Disk-Mode and connect it to another Mac  
(with DVD) via FireWire, then you can run the Tiger install on that  
Mac. Be sure to select the iBook hard drive as the recipient during  
the install setup.
