If you set up DVD or CD Sharing (see page 16), you can use Remote Install Mac OS X on a
computer with an optical disc drive to do any of the following tasks on your Mac mini:
Â
Reinstall Mac OS X Server and other software that came with your Mac mini
Â
Reset your password
Â
Use Disk Utility to check or repair the Mac mini hard disk
To use Remote Install Mac OS X:
1
Insert the Mac OS X Server Install DVD into the optical disc drive of the other computer.
2
If the other computer is a Mac, open /Applications/Utilities/Remote Install Mac OS X.
(Unless the other Mac already has Mac OS X v10.5.5, you might need to install this
application.) On Windows, choose “Remote Install Mac OS X” from the Install Assistant.
