[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1071913, member: 46727"] Target mode only works using OS X via FW to FW. Ubuntu Linux is a great OS but there are hardware things it was never meant to do. :) Dig in your wallet and buy an external DVD drive with a FW port. I bought a spare external DVD drive (USB only) on sale from Amazon for $42.00 and free shipping. One with a FW port is probably going to run around $65 to $75 from Amazon or Tiger Direct. Anyway, that's your best bet to get Tiger installed unless you can convince one of your buddies to lend you his Mac. Regards. [/QUOTE]
