Installing from HD disk image...

ok, so i have 10.4.6 on my hard drive as a disk image from a DVD, and i am trying to instal it onto my G3 iBook which doesn't have a DVD drive. i have played with the disk utility and it wont let me do anything with it.

any suggestions as to how i can install it??

the disk mounter says i cannot mount it because "no mountable file systems". not through disk utility, but by double clicking on the image icon.

when i use disk utility and click mount, it says that its mounting but no extra disk appears. and no error message appears.

oh and im running 10.3.9 at the moment.

bump... Anyone??

can i do the same thing at home, i.e. break up the single .dmg file into several smalller ones that will allow boot from cd??
