I have an iMac with a dead CDRom drive and a linux box with a working
CDROM Drive. is it posible to share the cdrom drive, with the MacOS 9
CDRom to the Mac? i just got the mac a few weeks ago and need to chear
it because who ever had it before me had loads of weird stuff on it
and i want a fresh start. has anyone tried this before and if so does
it work? also, is there a difference with installing MacOS 9 and X?
could i do the same install with OSX? ill be getitng a copy of it in a
few weeks and just want to know.
Thanks in advance.
