Use an external DVD drive with DVD Player in 10.3.3
Authored by: bdg on Sep 21, '04 10:12:11AM

After the 10.3.3 update I found this trick myself after some serious cursing. Instead of the Panther install CD you can use the 10.3.2 update which should make the process a lot faster with Pacifist and give you the latest working version.

The same trick needs to be done after 10.3.4 and 10.3.5.

Because I need to do this on my iMac G4 I did the same on my wife's iMac G3 B&W to which I connected my external DVD drive. This caused the system to crash everytime I used the drive. Reverting to the 10.3.5 version of the framework I found it just worked. Very strange.
