I have been trying unsuccessfully to install Tiger on my work machine.
It does not have a SuperDrive, only a combo, so I burnt a DVD on my
home machine and brought it in to work. (The install goes smoothly at
home)
When the installer comes up, every new step (Welcome, License
confirmation etc) takes about 5 minutes to come up and eventually the
installer will crash. I suspect that my combo drive is having trouble
reading the DVD.
I remember from a previous OS seeding that there was a discussion on
here about how to get the contents of the seed dmg onto a spare
partition on the disk and then booting off that partition.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find that discussion.
I have tried the Restore option in Disk Utility, but that fails
immediately with an error (2). I tried Carbon Copy Clone but when I
tried to boot from the partition I got a big circle with a line through
it at startup.
Anyone had any success with this issue?

P.S. Hint for some future OS - Allow users to boot off a disk image :)
