Hi,

I would like to revert my entire system (10.5.4) to how it looked
yesterday. Luckily, I have a backup on my Time Capsule. However, when
I follow the instructions given at the Apple Support site, I get into
trouble.

Since I'm using a Macbook Air, I use a remote machine to access the
install DVDs. I boot my Macbook Air holding down the alt-key. I choose
my network (the Time Capsule) and the remote install DVD. A globe
starts spinning, but soon it is replaced by a circle with a strike
through it (like a 'no access' sign).

I have also tried to use a Leopard DVD (multiuser license) which I
bought for my older machines when Leopard was introduced. However, the
problem persists.

Any help is appreicated,
Michael Knudsen

It seems that the problem is that the wrong DVDs shipped with my
computer. They are for Macbook, not Macbook Air. How bizarre...
