Most likely only for one specific computer.  In windows they call it  
a "home edition".
I have OS 10.4 which I received with my G5 desktop, but I cannot use  
it to install 10.4 on my 533 dual or my G5 iMac, bummer.  I could as  
the other gentleman said use target disk mode, but 10.3.9 is working  
fine so I'll wait for the 10.5 to come out and upgrade all of them at  
the same time.

Good luck and enjoy that mac it's a great machine.  I have both XP  
and OSX, it's tough for me to use XP.
