So like. I have the legit DVD and made a backup.

But the DVD... broke. Yeah that's it it .. broke.

Now I'm stuck with this DVD DMG and I wanna install it.

Hint: I have no DVD burner. What do I do

That sucks that tiger is only available for macs with dvd drives. I hope that I will be able to use it when it is available to me.

ryju · Jun 30, 2004, 01:28 PM

Aww that's so sad. What will you do?

Krypton · Jun 30, 2004, 01:38 PM

DVD drive is a requirement of Tiger.

Thus, you're stuffed

Call yourself a developer? and you can't even figure out how to install the OS.

I'm mean come on, its bad enough you've downloaded it, its worse that you don't have a clue how to install it.

Truth is, if you have an additional partition, or external drive, you don't even need to boot from the DVD to install it....

OK, I admit to being confused. DVDs aren't a problem for me, but how would one install without it? The only way I can think of is to use Pacifist to extract the install image to an empty partition, but I have not clue if that would work.

Haha, no really.

The developer preview is intended to be tested on all machines that will be able to run the final. Excluding early G4 towers, all the non DVD Macs aren't all that great at running OS X anyway (coloured iBooks etc).

Angus_D · Jun 30, 2004, 01:57 PM

Ambush, you are less than 18 and therefore you are in violation of your NDA and Prototype Software License Agreement with Apple, if in fact you did obtain this DVD legitimately (which you didn't). I have informed Apple Corporate Security.

MindFad · Jun 30, 2004, 02:03 PM

Couldn't you just open the install package like you can with Panther? I mean, that's bad. Don't do that. Stop it.

Well now that your helping him...

"You can install OSX on any drive without having to boot from the DVD by running osinstall.mpkg as opposed to the big friendly click me installer. Can�t remember exactly where it is as I don't have the DVD handy but I seem to remember its in /library/installation."

Somebody say stupid?

Yes. I was looking at other solutions...

Yes I call myself a developer, in fact I'm know more about developing on a Mac than you do.

Now go back to coding your bug-ridden apps at http://thelittleappfactory.com/ and leave us alone.

By the way I really own the DVD but I don't have a DVD drive.

Well my less than two year-old iBook 600 has no DVD.

And yet it supports Quartz Extreme.

So Apple is going to offer a CD version.

1) You can't figure out how to install an operating system

2) You state that I do work for thelittleappfactory, when infact I've never done any cocoa coding for thelitteappfactory, I helped with their website about a year ago and thats it - haven't spoken to them since.

3) You ask for help about installing a pirate copy of Tiger, when it is strictly forbidden on this board.

4) You broke your NDA with Apple.

Ambush, you have some learning to do!

Yeah, because your code is totally bug-free. *cough*

So perhaps you could ask some of your fellow developers at WWDC to install it on your iBook using Target Disk Mode. Oh sorry, you're not at WWDC, and you're just making stuff up.

Multiple unrelated statements do not a logical argument make.

P.s. I fired off the install details to you.

You actually made the same mistakes with Panther.

Stop being so hypocritical.. no one likes it.

Peace.

Truepop · Jun 30, 2004, 03:51 PM

why would someone start a thread like this when people went through about the same flame wars last year with panther's developer release?

Besides shouldn't this be in the OS X forum?

Come on think about it, you posted on a public message board which is completely against software piracy, a question about how to install a pirate copy of Tiger. Can't you see how stupid that is?

1) Its just asking for a flame war.
2) Its admitting, in public, that you pirate software (particularly bad for a software developer).
