[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 799435, member: 3850"] All intel Macs can boot from USB drives, and there is a pretty technical way of getting PowerPC macs to boot from them as well: [url=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060301112336384]macosxhints.com - Boot PowerPC Macs via USB 2.0 drives[/url] Alternatively, try one of louishen's tips - they should work as well. Finally you can also piggyback off your intel Mac's optical drive: 1. Connect the two Macs with a firewire cable (if you don't have one, they're cheaper than a new external drive ;)). 2. Pop the Tiger DVD in the intel Mac and reboot it holding down the "T" key. 3. Boot the G4 and hold down the option key. The DVD should show up on the G4 and you can install Tiger off the intel Mac's DVD drive over the firewire connection. [/QUOTE]
