Installing Tiger over firewire

Does anyone know if you can install Tiger over firewire. I have a family pack with 5 lic' which is fine for the G4 ibook and iMac and I also have one G3 Power mac without a DVD drive. Tried over the network and although the install disk is recongised - no go.

Can you split up the files on the DVD onto multiple CD's?

Otherwise try using CarbonCopyCloner: Boot the Powermac G3 into firewire target disc mode (reboot and hold T after the startup chime) and clone the iMac's drive onto the G3's drive.

But you'll lose the files on the Powermac...

Thanks. Target Disk Mode seems to be the way to go. I will give it a try.

Yes, Tiger will install from a firewire disk if you copied the DVD disc to a partition on the firewire drive using Disk Utility. Actually, it installs much faster than the DVD. On my Mac mini, it installs in 3-4 minutes.
