Hello

I'm trying to upgrade an old PowerBook G4's operating system from Tiger to Leopard. I've got a .sparseimage image file with Mac OS X Leopard on it (4.52GB) but I don't have a blank DVD at the moment.

So I was wondering, does anyone know if it's possible to mount the image onto a USB stick and boot from that?

I tried this method but got an error message - I assume because it's not a standard image file: http://dancameron.org/general/creating-os-x-leopard-install-usb-drive

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
