please help me in this part:

Download a bootable ISO with the capability of writing a raw image directly to hard disk, and burn the ISO.
Any reasonable Linux install or live should do. Eg., Ubuntu Live CD, Mandrake Install CD/DVD.

Ok, I did what it told me to do and when I type dd if=media/apple/tiger-x86-flat.img
of=/dev/hda (apple is the name of the external USB drive) it tells me permission denied.When I unmount the drive and type it it cant find the directory.I am using ubuntu live cd. How do I get thisd to work?

You are waisting your time because you’ll need to hack Tiger EVERYTIME you update it and I don’t think that PCs with OSX 10.4 can run iLife or Pro App – even iTunes !

Is it possible to dd with bs=512 to start writing mac immediately after the partition table, thus saving the tedious and/or dangerous step of finding all the partitions?
