A DMG file, which is also known as a DMG image is a mountable disk image created for the Mac OS X. It has the raw block data normally compressed and sometimes encrypted. DMG files are often used to install OS X software that is downloaded from the internet to mount a virtual disk on the Mac PC when opened. The DMG files are specific for the Mac. In that case, you will need to perform an erase and install of Mac OS X 10.2.x then re-update to Mac OS X 10.4.x per Knowledge Base document #301468, or attempt copying the Mac OS 9 system folder. Okay, If you are missing one of the install discs, there are two things you can do. You need to contact Apple in order to get OS X 10.4 Tiger or OS X 10.5 Leopard from Apple assuming they still have copies.

Mac Os 10.2 Install Disk

An OSX install is hardware agnostic. If you're noticing oddities associated with booting originally from a powerbook (especially energysaver or ethernet issues) do the following:
Fire up the terminal.
sudo rm -r var/db/SystemConfiguration
Then restart the machine from the Apple menu.
This will allow your machine to reset its power management prefs.

Mac Os 10.2 Install Disk Management

This is a slick trick that I read about in the latest issue of Mac Addict.
I do have ask though why you don't replace the CD_ROM drive? :)

Just have not gotten around to it yet. Any idea what the price is for a slot loading cd-rw drive is? I'll have to research this, just have not had the time to get to it and I was impatient to install 10.2 on my 'Blue Dalmation'.
Thanks.

Actually, sudo rm -r /var/db/SystemConfiguration is a bad idea. It removes the whole directory and this confuses OS X a lot. Try tossing one of the files inside the directory to clear things up.
sudo su
cd /var/db/SystemConfiguration
Then rm either the com.apple.PowerManagement.xml file, or the preferences.xml or the com.apple.nat.xml file.

Mac Os 10.2 Install Disk Manager

You can boot from an external Firewire CD or HD simply by pressing the 'Option' key right at earliest boot time. This 'Option' is in the iMac firmware and works from any OS. You will then be shown a list of available boot devices, and the external Firewire CD will be listed if it has a bootable CD in it already and is powered up. A friend had the identical problem - an iMac with broken internal CD and OS 9.1. I booted both a Firewire Jaguar HD for him to 'experience' Jaguar, and later a Panther install CD, so I know this works. No need for the Target Disk Mode installation unless you don't have any other Firewire devices. Target mode is good if you only have two computers available.
