I have a few questions that i need some counseling on.As i have found this to be the most helpful MAC forum on the net.
1.I have an iBook G3 but the drive only reads cds.I have Tiger on DVD and i wanted to install it on the iBook.I actually wont have the disk for another day.My question is will the DVD load if i put it in the iBook?If not can i connect an external DVD drive to the firewire port on my iBook and install from the external DVD drive being connected to the iBook or not?
2.I have restore CDs that are labeled iMac.If i wanted to revert back to OSX 10.2.8 can i use the iMac cds that i have?The cds are:
Mac OSX and Mac OS 9.2.2 software restore cds 1 -3
and Mac OSX install cds (2 of these)for Mac OS version 10.2 CD version 1.0.
It also came with an apple hardware test cd that is for an iMac that i tried and it does not work.
Any help on this matter is greatly appreciative!!
