Clamshell iBook, using ubuntu to install Tiger

[Olafur Arason]

I think Tiger or any other large cat are not meant for such
an old computer, that why it on a DVD. But you can try
to use Mac On Linux, it should be possible but it
requires fideling. See http://www.applefritter.com/node/9216
Good luck.
