[QUOTE="lynch, post: 424949, member: 33376"] Hi, everybody.:) I was just given a iBook G4 running OS X Tiger and I wondered if there was a hidden system partition that held the files needed to reinstall the OS so I can do all my own setting up. I was not given any disks with this gift and I want to check about this before I shell out $$ for a new set of disks. I am a long time Linux user and help mod a couple Linux-related forums but I have not used a Mac since ver.4. I [I]did[/I] do a couple searches at this forum and on Google but had no luck finding the answer. Any alternative suggestions are very welcome. :) I really like this site and am sure I will have plenty more questions to ask later on. TIA lynch [/QUOTE]
