[G4] What works on Tiger and does not?

[John McClernan]

Dan,
You can use Disk Utility to make a disk image, then transport it over to
your G3. If you have them networked, it's easy to do via iChat. If you
don't, you'll have to have a large enough portable drive (such as a
firewire, for speed) to store it on. I can almost guarantee that the disk
image would be too large for a CD-R. I don't know if you would have to have
the installer on such an external source in order to install, since I don't
own Tiger.
My 2¢
