At the moment when I want to use Photoshop 7 I have to boot from an external HDD into 10.4.7, having 10.5.6 installed on my iMac, which PS7 doesn't like.

I've tried installing 10.4.7 onto flash drives using various website how-to's, but got none to work.

Including this one :
http://blog.bradbergeron.com/2006/11...a-flash-drive/

I just wonder if there is a really easy way to install / copy bootable 10.4.7 onto flash drive, preferably 2gb.

Or what files do I need to copy from my 10.4.7 external HDD, or would this not work.

I do have all original installation discs for 10.4 etc

Alternatively, a get around to get PS7 working within 10.5.6, anyone ?

If you have 10.4.7 installed on an external hard drive already, why not boot from that and run PS7? Just wondering.

I keep the external 10.4.7 HDD (1 of 6 ext HDD's) in a drawer, it's just easier if I can boot from USB Flash, no PSU etc.
