Does anyone have a pre installed image of mac os x 10.4 for the imac g3 400mhz slot loader?

[longboarder]

So I have an imac g3 in my collection that I modified with a 1tb drive using the ata tools driver and currently runs 10.2.8. I wanted to install 10.4 on it but since I dont have a dvd drive due to it being definitely worn beyond practical use Ive tried to resort to attempting to install using a partition with the install dvd on it. That basically failed because it wouldnt recognize the disks. I tried installing ata hi cap driver to the partition where the install dvd was and I got this ugly screen:

So I resorted to my next best solution, cloning. So I got my 20gb ide I had lying around and did the same process this time without the high capacity driver and while I got through the installation process it recieved an error at the end making that solution a failure. This is where I am coming to you guys for help. You see I have a mac with superduper installed so im thinking what may help is if I get an image in the .imgc format from one of your drives that is 15gb or 10gb and I use hdd raw copy tool to image it over to my 20gb hd. From there I can use superduper to copy that 15 or 10gb image to my 32gb partition on my 1tb drive. If you can help with that Itd be immensively appreciated. Thanks and regards,
Thomas

You have FireWire. That's the best course of action. Is the optical drive broken or just not a DVD reader? The Tiger CDs are available on the macintosh garden.

The optical drive is broken i think. Either way I found a solution by imaging this image from a pre made pearpc img to a flash drive using balenaetcher
mega
then I used superduper on a mac to transfer the files to my 35 gb partition. The last step I had to do was probably the simplest one which was to set the startup disk to that partition and install the ata tools high capacity driver. Since the mac was having difficulty booting the drive all I did was boot up in safe mode holding shift and it booted straight up. I accidentally fried my hd psu by putting in another donor drive I had lying around so now its a matter of finding out how to optimize 10.4 for my 400mhz processor. I was on the imageboard lainchan and one of the users said theres a batch program made that will optimize my mac and stop processes like spotlight and widgets. If anyone could redirect me to ways to optimize my mac thatd help immensively.

Disable Dashboard

Dashboard can be a real drain, particularly for memory-challenged Macs. Rob Griffiths shows you how to shut down Dashboard to deny yourself the temptation of using its ever handy Widgets.

I thought one version disables Dashboard completely. Sorry if that's not the case.

From memory, that step was removed after user dissatisfaction.

Anyway, Dashboard does not consume any resources if it isn't opened. If it is opened, the user can simply run the command killall Dock to close it.
