Apple seeds Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger build 8A294 to ADC
The first widespread seed of Apple Computer's Tiger operating system has turned up on the company's developer servers, sources tell AppleInsider.
The software— labeled Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger build 8A294— is being distributed as a 1976MB downloadable DVD image. This is the first time that Apple has offered builds of Tiger through its multi-tier ADC system.
In June, Apple distributed the first preview release of Tiger to developers attending its World Wide Developer Conference. Since that time, few builds of the maturing OS have made their way beyond company walls.
According to sources, the latest seed includes one of the most recent compiles of the Tiger OS. Apple has also begun to distribute new versions of Tiger Server to its employees, but has not yet offered this software through its ADC system.
Earlier this week, Apple upgraded its ADC distribution system in preparation for the new Tiger builds. Sources are reporting completed downloads of the near 2GB Tiger image in less than 2 hours.

Clearly someone who hasn't yet found the porn isle of the internet.
Lucky for me my job pays for my ADC dues... I'm grabbing it now but I dunno why since I don't have a DVD burner at home.

can't you just mount the image, or does that not work for installing an OS?
on a side note: why are there ads for service pack 2 and windows server on the top of this page? ...seems ironic
"2 hours"? LOL ... I downloaded it to my work Mac in 9 minutes ... 3.9 Mbytes/sec. baby! Love them new distributed Apple ADC servers ...
