kipod: Use your iPod to install Tiger.
Tiger on your Mac if you don't have a DVD drive. This also works quite well if you work for an IT department etc. and need to quickly install Tiger on multiple computers.

Installing 10.4/10.5 on a Mac with a broken/or incompatible optical drive
Leopard (10.5) is only available on DVD. Tiger (10.4) is available on DVD and there was a limited time media exchange program available on CD as well.

kmosx4: Some Speedtouch DSL modems don't work on Tiger
Speedtouch DSL modem problems under Tiger that did not exist before under Panther. The solution they found was to get an ethernet router to route the connection to their computer. An Apple Airport or 802.11b/802.11g router can also serve the same function. The problem appears to be in those DSL modems not having the proper drivers installed. Not all ethernet DSL modems require specialized manufacturer drivers for installation. I've used several Speedtouch modems on prior DSL services that did not require...
