I was hoping the DVD might have a method for creating a set of install 
CD's. The internal DVD-ROM drive on one of our old iMacs is dead, but 
it does have an external (Firewire) superdrive.

Hmmm. I'm assuming it needs to be a built-in drive because you have to 
boot from the installation disk. Now I'm wondering how I'm going to 
work it on this iMac because I don't know if I can boot from the 
external drive regardless of format (CD vs. DVD). Guess I'll have to do 
a little experimenting tonight.

Worst case, I guess I try hooking it up to the Quicksilver in Target 
Disk Mode and try it that way.
