I was wondering what the best way is of installing a Linux distribution DVD onto a PC with NO DVD drive on the PC ?

I thought about using the imacs DVD drive but i am unsure how to do it.

Is it in Target disk mode or share DVD.

If so how do I boot the PC from the connected macs dvd drive?
Is there a way to mount an iso of the dvd in dos?

Thanks

Buck up, spend $30-$40 and get an internal DVD drive for the PC......about the only solution you have friend.

Sounds like a challage.
So far I have read a way to create a dos boot disk with SHSUCDHD installed
but haven't done it yest as it looks a little tricky...
There has to be a simple method...
Don't want to spend any more money on the PC, when it dies it dies...
Thanks
