This one is to big (after converting to a .ISO) to burn to a (single layer) DVD.
.ISO size: 4,841MiB
DVD+R max: 4,482MiB

There once was an OS so great,
That it's owners couldn't control it's fate.
Lock up as they must, they could do no just,
x86 the idea that it won't propogate...

Would someone mind posting an MD5 value? I try mounting the image in 10.4.3 as per Maxxuss' instructions, but OS X won;t let me mount. I am wondering if my dmg is corrupt.

nightalon (2006-02-19)

Never mind; conversion to iso with UltraISO works nicely; are we sure this is 8G1165?

is this true-

kevincad23 (2006-08-24)

i just downloaded this and tried to convert it too .iso,but it is way too big. how can i get it down to fit on a dvd-r? i have a macbook (intel) will it work on this one?

kevincad23 (2006-08-25)

i finally figured it out.the only way you can get this running is with a dvd-r dl disc.works perfectly in my macbook computer for resetting the admin password and such.thanks

amateeke (2006-09-30)

This shit is not working for any macbook or macbook pro. First of all to get this working u need double layer dvd to burn on. Secondly u cant boot this. only with iMac.
U can access this cd from macboook / pro but not boot and iinstall. so its useless for macbook users (intel)
is there any torrent out for macbook pro? intel processor?

vidas666 (2006-11-26)

Plz Reply Fast!

sandwichbagz (2012-02-05)

To anyone asking for disc 2....there isn't one. This is a 4 GB OS X 10.4 Tiger install DVD for a specific model of Intel iMac. Any CD multi disc versions are for POWERPC and cap out under 3 GB. I have downloaded this file multiple times and it does work.

THIS IS NOT A WINDOWS ACCESSABLE FILE. IT IS A DMG ENCODED HFS PARTITION THAT IS ONLY READABLE BY MACS. BY USING ANY WINDOWS SOFTWARE, I.E. NERO OR ULTRAISO YOU SHOULD QUICKLY REALIZE THAT THE CONTENTS ARE INACCESSABLE WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN "BURN" THE DISC IMAGE FILE. TO INSTALL ON ANY HARDWARE YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO A MACINTOSH!!!
Any unsupported Mac or x86 machines will require that you "show all files" once booted into OS X (or through Target Disk Mode on another Mac) and click on the OSinstall.mpg under system/install. It will guide you from there. Just make sure you have a clean, bootable partition using Disk Utility. Hope I could help.

alextrex (2012-05-03)

So yeah, this took me way to long to figure out all the details after I downloaded the .dmg. I'm going to save some poor sucker some time.
First covert the .dmg to a .iso. Use terminal for this. Here is the command.
hdiutil convert ~/Desktop/'filename.dmg' -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/'filename.iso'
Then, once you've converted it to an .iso, drag and drop it into disc utility, then select burn from the file. You have to burn it this way for it to work. (I tired burning it straight up and with Toast) Also, you have to you the DVD+or-R DL (double layer).
Hope this helps some n00b like me.

SUCCESS!!
i've succeeded in installing this on my early 2008 2.8ghz imac 24"!!
let me share with you how this was accomplished as it was something i was trying to do for the last few years!
-download this onto a snow leopard or leopard mac
-convert this 10.4.4 install dvd to read/write with disk utility
-opened up /system/installation/packages folder and then right click "osInstall.pkg" and reveal "package contents"
-drag osinstall.dist file to textedit) and search for "imac4,1"and change any occurrence of "imac4,1" to match your target machine. I changed that to imac8,1 which is what my imac is.
-plug in a firewire or usb external drive reformat & REPARITION ensuring that it was in GUIID partition type (mac intel bootable requirement) if its already in GUID partition type then you dont need to reformat but reformatting is a safe way to ensure a clean filesystem
-run the installer + select the usb or firewire drive and unchecked all the extra stuff under "Customize" so it doesnt prompt u for "disc 2"
-download the combo update for 10.4.11 *intel* and run it, targetting the external drive
-go to startup preferences BOOM theres my intel 10.4.11 disk! restart + bam! TIGER on 2008 imac!!
you are now free to clone this usb drive to a partition on your imac's internal drive!!
