Installing Tiger sans DVD

[Alex Maccise] I've seen many posts concerning Apple's decision to ship Mac OS X 10.4 exclusively on DVD. While I understand that Apple has offered its customers a $10 exchange option to "downgrade" to CDs, I would like to post a second option for those more adventurous types.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

Hey, you get t...: I can't think of a western I've seen that has done as good of a job as Deadwood has done when it comes to illustrating just what it was like to live in a lawless prospecting town in the late 1800s-- well, maybe "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" (which, sans the violence, might be a fair comparison).

http://www.tuaw.com [Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): The installer just hung while trying to determine what volumes it could install to, and after a restart, it decided it would not install to the Target mode Mac. Luckily, I had a 2.5" enclosure, so I stuffed the drive in that, and she installed just fine, and worked in the Pismo just fine.
