I don't have a firewire device, and if i had the money for one, i could go out and buy some CD-Rs
On the CD Drive thing... if you read my first post, I said that the CD itself was damaged and i didnt have anymore CD-R's. I can't get anywhere to get CD-Rs right now. I back up every important CD I have to my hard drive just incase, and its paid off if I can figure this out. I only have 256MB RAM so I can't make a ram disk big enough, and if you read my drive setup woes, I can't get Drive Setup to work, and I don't have my restore CD's anymore (I got rid of them when i got my OS 10.1 CD), so I can't use macosx.org's partition trick...
Help!
here in switzerland a single cd-r costs around 0.5 USD. if you haven't got THAT money i'd go and find a job, because without a warm soup you won't survive this winter.
if you have 10.0.x installed you can install the update by finding the install.mpkg on the mounted disk image. double click that and it'll run.
you could also go outside with a poster that says 'need 50 cents for a CD-R'.
or you could, because as i understand you are lying about quite some things, go and buy Mac OS X.

You do can do it !
Replicate the cd image on an empty Hard disk not partitioned and possibly the hd have to be on another bus chain to the disk you are installing onto (other SCSI or other Atapi); it's not necessary but as to avoid misconfigurations.
Run the installer, then reboot and with openfirmware (O+F+'apple'+'alt' keys) indicate from which device you are going to continue booting (hd scsi or ide and the id no.).
If you don't know how-to, I think you can manage to boot from the hard drive also with the extensions/panels used for booting the mklinux (they do the same thing in openfirmware) instead of using the openfirmware itself.
I hope it's worth...

Well, since I'm only about 14, and I don't have a car, and my mom refuses to drive me anywhere, and refuses to buy any CD-Rs, I was telling the truth. And, I'm not much for warez, and If I can get my hands on a digital camera i will send you a pic of my broken CD... will that satisfy you?
