I have an emac (currently running 10.3.9) with only a cd drive, but I would like to install 10.4 or 10.5. Is that possible with an external dvd drive?

(i did try in the past without any luck... i'm just hoping that during restart, to start the installation, you can hold down a key so that it knows to read the external drive)

Am I too hopeful for my old beloved emac?
 
Is it a firewire drive? If so, all you have to do is insert the DVD and hold down the Option button on boot. Select your DVD and you should boot into the installer.
