Hey everyone, thanks for the advice on my last thread. Decided I'm going to end up attempting to install Tiger on my G3 Clamshell. (300MHz)

That said, I need a Tiger install on CDs instead of a DVD, because of the age of the machine. I had someone mention that there was a CD-Burnable Tiger installation on Macintosh Garden, but I have yet to find it. Does anyone have a link to a version of Tiger that can be burned onto CD-Rs? I assume it would be multiple images since the rare Tiger CD's came on what I believe to have been four discs.

Thanks again! (And sorry if this is a little off topic for the PPC section, but it's a follow-up, and I wanted folks to actually see it :p)

Toasts are usually burned in a toaster oven though... Meh, I want some nice 'n' fresh croissants!
🤣

also, real quick while we're on the subject: can you confirm if the above method of changing the file extension works?

Yes. Just checked it for the fourth image. Mounts just fine and I don't have Croissant Toast either.

Code:
~/Downloads>pdisk -l Tiger_CD4.iso

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on 'Tiger_CD4.iso'
 #:                type name                 length   base   ( size )

 2:           Apple_HFS DiskImages           487976 @ 16     (238.3M)
 3:          Apple_Free DiskImages-generated     16 @ 487992

Device block size=2048, Number of Blocks=122002 (238.3M)
