[CUBE] iLife install

[Andre Hogie]

I have the iLife 04 DVD with another computer so I
just dragged the contents onto a drive and then onto
my cube and it worked great. You may still have the
problem that the software wants an internal drive, so
there are 2 options; change the dead drive or connect
another one externally to the internal strap, by using
a longer strap and a power supply from another
computer. Of course you must completely disconnect the
internal drive.
