[QUOTE="ibookmobile007, post: 406656, member: 31967"] The Tiger is the Full retail. As far as the Cds they say iMac on them.And you are correct some say system restore disk and then some say software recovery.and they all are grey. As for the Tiger.It will be here sometime today(Yea i know there is no delivery on Sunday).My friend that is an IT tech purchased it but never had the chance to install it on his iBook G4 because of work and he somehow just got leapord and installed it on his iBook.So he is giving me the Tiger DVD. how can i tell if it will allow me to boot from it?Its a brand new Sony external DVD burner(Well only 3 months old).I have plugged it to the mac to install applications that i have dled from a friends server and burnt to disk in order to load onto the PPC,because its not as fast as my regular computer.I accomplished this without any problems.I can put a dvd and watch movies on my mac as well with a dvd in the drive so i guess it will let me boot up like that.How can i actually verify?
