Hi there guys. I was just doing my usual nightly browsing and I came across this little tutorial:

 

http://chris.tandiono.googlepages.com/upgr...osx10.4.6server

 

It tells tale of how to install parts of the osx server 10.4.6 combo update onto a regular tiger install. Apparently once you install the right stuff and reboot, you will have morphed your tiger into tiger server. Wonder if this would work on a hackintosh?

 

What do you guys think of the whole exercise? Is it a hoax?

The real test would be to then install the Server Admin tools. If you can configure the server, then it works. Otherwise, it's useless. It may ask for a serial number, which is pointless as well.

 

The only time this would be truly useful is if you have purchased Tiger Server 10.4 (like me, which is a PPC-only DVD), and you have now purchased a new Intel Mac. You could use your Tiger Server serial number, and the method noted above, to install an Intel-native version of Tiger Server.

 

Otherwise, Apple forces you to purchase it again (they won't send you an updated Universal DVD even though you have paid for the software).
