I did precisely that when I was installing from DVD recently, and saw the switch lights flickering every couple of minutes or less. I should mention that my Tiger DVD contains 10.4.6, so I downloaded all the updates up to 10.4.11 (the current one), plus the latest (cumulative) security patch and pulled the cable before I started the installation. I did this to avoid exposing to the internet a system which wasn't up to date with the latest O/S level and patches. -- Paul Sture
