Q: Need 10.4.2
So I recently bought an iMac G5 to complete my 'G' collection,
Unfortunatly I only have Mac OS X 10.4 and the iMac (G5, iSight) needs 10.4.2 to function.
I have a version on 10.5 but I want to avoid using it.
Is there anyway you can combine the update with the actual OS on install.
Thanks,

10.4.6 may be the only "retail" set of 10.4 you can install on your Mac, unless it predates April 29, 2005. Some may handle 10.4.3, but the age of the Mac determines which retail release you can run. If your Mac came with 10.4.2, it definitely can handle 10.4.3 retail, but not 10.4.0 retail, nor a "download" of 10.4.2. It must be the disc that came with the Mac, if you figured it came with 10.4.2.
