[X4U] 10.4 without DVD drive

[John McClernan]

Gail,
Here's a workaround.
Connect the computer without a DVD drive to a Mac that does have a  
DVD drive by using a Firewire cable and start the no-DVD unit in  
target disk mode. Place the install DVD into the one that does have  
the DVD drive and run the installer, choosing the no-DVD unit as the  
target of the install.
As they say in France, viola!
Cheers,
John

Gail,

No you aren't out of luck.

10.4 does come on a DVD but there is a form you can fill out  
(available from your local reseller) to swap the DVD for multiple CD's.
