Hey all.
I got a powerbook G4 for a neighbour. They didn't want to pay the repair cost to fix it so I did it. The harddrive had died so I replaced with with a new one (it was tedious work for sure).
Anyway, now that I have it up, I want to get mac osx on it, but the guy can't find the discs for Tiger! He had a copy of his disc lying around but it was a no go. I have the first CD of tiger nowbut I need at lest 1 more and I can't find one!
I've even tried all the PPC distros I could find but none of them support this airport extreme and I am sick of trying to get it to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't have any mac friends around so I can't just borrow a disc. And i don't want to buy ANOTHER copy of an OS i already have a license for technically. Is there a really cheap version somewhere?
