If it's that important, maybe you could put the CD-RW in that machine.

There has been talk of trying to netboot using a SUNW,hme.  I'm not
sure if anyone tried it yet, but I suspect you've got all the hardware at

will "just work" in a PowerMac.

True, but with a modicum of effort, I'm sure we can help you get set up.

Good luck,
