...the right way ahead to update 10.3.9 to Tiger?
Hi again guys..
My problem is (or...has been..?) that my iMac G3 600 PPC is now running 10.3.9 happily but I want to get it up to 10.4.11 which works so well on its sister Pismo which I have had for years. I cant find the 10.4 disks that I must have had rto update that one, but I have been trying to find an acceptable version of 10.4 and then to work out what I need to do to get 10.4 going on the iMac?
I think I am nearly there! ;-)
I have a legit copy of MacOSX10.4.Universal.pkg ......from my 10.5 system update disks! (bought years ago to bring a later Mac up to date.
I have downloaded the combo update from Apple Support pages to take that to 10.4.11 which is precisely where I am hoping to get.
In view of the non bootability of USB on 10.3 PPC iMacs - I have cleared a FW ext disk and am ready to set it up to act as the transport of 10.4 to 10.3.9.
Q. I believe I need to down load an Installer programme from Apple Support. Not sure which one but I will be looking, shortly.
Q. Do I need to use Disk Utility to set up the FW disk in some way or do I need to set up the downloaded version of the installer or of 10.4 Universal?
Advice please?
Thanks
