Hey folks, I have a few macbooks and macbook pros in the household all of which came with the Tiger, so I have quite a few of those gray DVDs with the various versions of Tiger on them. I was wondering if you guys could help me out with the instructions on creating a single install DVD with Tiger 10.4.11 on it which I could use to reinstall Tiger on both macbook and macbook pro laptops? I know how to make the dmg from a DVD disc, but I don't know: 1. How to mount the dmg so I could edit files on it? Which file(s) will I need to edit in order to allow the disc to install on different types of Apple hardware (all intel machines tho)? How to slipstream the 10.4.11 update (to get to the build 8S2165 right after installation) into the dmg (is there a Slipy equivalent for Tiger)? ![]() Os X Tiger Install DiskThanks in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated! Dave, it's hard to still find relevant information on this subject for Tiger now that Leopard is out, but I have found the references to 'distribution' file on the Tiger discs, which can be edited to allow installation on more than one type of the machine.

So I reckon it's possible to make a Tiger disc which will install just fine on all intel macs. Regarding the slip-streaming, there used to be a little app called Slipy (for 10.3 anyways) which would slip-stream updates and apps onto the Mac OS X installation disc. Given what Pacifist can do, I assumed that one can extract the contents of the combo updater onto the properly (rw) mounted OS X installation image. May 07, 2017 Hope you guys have an awesome sunday!

This problem was very difficult to fix. Requirements: -Mac OS X 10.4 PPC Software (torrent download link in video) -A more recent iMac that has the Disk Utility App and can burn DVD's. -1 DVD+R Disc -An iMac G3, G4, or G5 Finally, earlier today, I fixed the iMac. Download Os X 10.4 TigerI downloaded a PPC version of Mac OS X 10.4. (this file was a torrent by the way.) I used Transmission to extract it; that took a few hours. Here's the link: ) After the extraction and Transmission was complete, the file became a DMG file and was titled 'Mac OS X Install DVD.toast.' I went ahead and changed the file extension from '.toast' to '.iso' Then with the Disk Utility app on my Mac, I took the new 'Mac OS X Install DVD.iso' file and dragged and dropped it into the left box of Disk Utility.

After everything was burned, downloaded, and extracted, it was time to take my new Mac OS X 10.4 PPC Install Disc and put it to the test.
