Can you install tiger on a dvd-challenged ibook from external FW DVD drive? How about from another machine.

Has anybody done this?

Having to pay and wait for the cd exchange thing is total BS - a major hassle.

I installed Tiger with an external Lacie FW DVD Burner on my iBook G3 800. Worked great. No problems at all.

I agree about the CD exchange thing. Apple was still selling Macs with just CD drives until last year. Oh well.
