Help Installing OS X

[MacAztec]

Hey. I have a .dmg on my computer of OS X, and a computer with no DVD Drive, but the machine has Firewire. Isn't there a way to partitioin an external Firewire Hard Drive, put OS X on it (not install it, but mount it or something), and install from the external drive?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Now, where would could you possibly get such a thing...

Do you have one or two computers? Your question doesn't make this clear.

If you have two, then start the DVD-equipped one in FireWire target mode (with the OS X DVD in the drive), and then boot up the non-DVD one while holding Option, and the OS X DVD should appear. You don't need to make a .dmg to do this.

Alternatively, just pay the $10 for the CDs

ADC Subscriber Downloads comes to mind.
