Recently my school which has a network of powerpc imacs, got a new intel core2duo imac.,
I tried to install parallels but it needs admin access.
Is there any way to install it without an admin password?
I normally install apps (dmg files)to my desktop because i dont have admin access.
Thanks,

In a situation like this. Could you BYO boot disk (e.g. iPod) and thus have admin access? Or can this be disabled in OpenFirmware...

Just wondering, if I boot from a Linux live cd and clone the hard drive with mac os x on it to a usb hard drive, I could boot from that hard drive and have admin access. What files would I need to edit on that usb hard drive and how?
