Well - first post...

 

I had OSX 10.4.6 installed on my homebrew machine without any issues. However, being ignorant, I attempted to update to 10.4.7, causing a system crash. After a couple days of tweaking, I got back into OSX and had it running with 10.4.7...

 

Then I got ballsy...

 

I updated to 10.4.8 and nuked the OS. After a week of fighting with a scratched install DVD (my trusty 10.4.5 install disk), I finally just snagged a different method. Much to my dismay, I find that I'm back at 10.4.1 without any available updates online...

 

If anyone has these sitting around I'd be more than happy to accept them. Even better, if you've got all the way up to 10.4.8, that'd be...fantastic.

 

Thanks.(And thanks for all the information thus far - you guys are a lifesaver)

Well, if you tried updating your 10.4.6 system with the apple updates, without tweaking it a little you'll get Kernel panics and such, don't worry.

 

But asfar as I know there's no way to update from 10.4.1, so you'll have to download a new release (I suggest you try an old one like your 10.4.5 DVD and patch your way up to 10.4.8 with the proper kernel since Jas's new dvd seems to be a {censored} sometimes.. (atleast from what I've read on the forum.)

Well - my original DVD is scratched and fails on a specific file...

 

I did use a DVD-ROM that is a bit more forgiving on scratched DVDs, and was able to copy the entire DVD to hard disk...However, that DVD-ROM is in my laptop (where Mac is not...Mac goes to the desktop)...

 

Anyone know of a way to burn a bootable DVD in Windows? Again, I've got the entire DVD copied to hard disk in Windows, I'm just unable to find the proper boot file to create a bootable disk...

 

Thanks again, guys.

If you got the entire DVD (in ISO form I suppose, if not make it an ISO..) it's quite easy.

 

Just use a program, like Nero, Alchol 120% to burn the ISO to a disk (there should be any option like 'burn disc image', it should be bootable automaticly. (and check your bios settings, the boot part. Make sure it boots from dvd/cd instead of hdd.)
