Q: Updating Jaguar
So I got a PowerBook G4 running Tiger (10.4.11). Now I would like to run Jaguar on it. I have Jaguar install discs, but they install 10.2.0, and the minimum for my PowerBook is 10.2.8. But I'm getting closer to installing Jaguar. I installed it on a USB stick by searching through the discs for the correct package. I also installed the "Additional Applications" package, which installed iPhoto, iMovie, and iTunes. But the USB drive runs 10.2.0, not a OS that runs on the PowerBook G4. But I do have a copy of the 10.2.8 update package, and I copied the files that it installs to my desktop. Sure, I could manually update Jaguar, but that would take 1-2 hours, and I figured there must be an easier way. When I try to install the update by opening the package, the discs and USB drive all "do not meet the requirements". So how can I update my USB drive so I can copy the contents to my PowerBook? If I must drag and replace each individual file with the files I copied out of the package, I will, but if there's another way, please tell me!
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11), G4

Thanks for your help, but I figured this out a while ago and just forgot to post that here. I downloaded the 10.2.1 update, the 10.2.2 update, 10.2.3, etc. Then I updated my OS one update at a time. It also turns out I forgot to install the Base System on my USB drive! Just the Essentials.
