10.4: Use NetBoot to install 10.4 on non-DVD systems
anyway to accomplish this without mac os x [b]server[/b]? server is just the same thing as client as far as i know, but with a bunch of extra gui interfaces.. isn't it?
10.4: Use NetBoot to install 10.4 on non-DVD systems
I don't know if there is a way to do this without server since when you netboot a mac it's looking for a netboot image and a dhcp assigned address. I have no idea if there are third-party applications that will mimic these services... As far as client and server being exactly the same, not quite and this is an example of why. I've heard of people using client as a webserver only and it seems to do a good job, and even small business users making a client into a fileserver. But for all the Apple goodies, Server is packed full.

the same thing can be done w/ netrestore [ul]http://www.bombich.com/software/netrestore.html[/ul] and you use restore to apply the image..

I've done dhcp, tftp, bootp using Mac OS X Client, since those are already there (provided). But I don't see how you could serve a Mac OS X netboot image from Client, since we don't have it (unless you buy Server).

You can serve the image from an OSX Client by making entries in the netinfo database, or you can use the Sharepoints shareware to do it for you. This is not speculation, I do have my OSX client serving OSX install images to a powerbook which has no CD drive...

I've got a text dump of outlined notes I made that I can share - but I cannot answer questions or support it (no time, sorry).
You may want to paste the text below into a plain-text editor set to "Monaco 10" to preserve the proper indentations.
And please do backup your system before making any netinfo changes!
Good luck...

Yes there is. I've used netboot to installed 10.2 and 10.3 several time from my Client versions of OS X. It's not too hard to do; the hardest is making sure you type the paths correctly. |
