Has anyone actually successfully done a remote install

[daneoni]

Just wondering if anyone managed to do a successful Remote Install of OSX or did you all just buy and use a SuperDrive?

I have done it before when I had my MacBook Air. I never had any trouble using Remote Install. I did it via Wireless-N with my Dad's iMac and the MacBook Air.

Good to know...thanks

Yes, I did a successful remote install a couple of weeks ago.

I bought the superdrive, only use it once in a rare while. It is nice to have it when you need it.

Superdrives are kind of a waste of money but I suppose it's good that apple at least thought to include it as an option. The remote install's don't take very long and it's a very cool feature to be able to use.

Did a remote install from my iMac yesterday. Worked perfectly.

Please note that i'm talking of a Remote Re-install (the one where you have to restart the air and hold down option key) of OS X not just a general remote install of software in general

I did it last night and it took me around 30 minutes 🙂

I did it through my iMac and removed the extra languages chunk but it was really faster than anticipated. BTW, I did it through the ethernet USB dongle so it would take longer through the Airport.

Exactly what I did as well.

Yes, I reinstalled OSX on my Air by remote from my iMac
