New feature supports MacBook Air.

Have you peeked in the Sharing preferences pane since updating to Mac OS X 10.5.2? Take a look and you’ll see a new option right at the top of the Service list: DVD or CD Sharing. This option, once enabled, makes it possible to share your computer’s optical drive with a MacBook Air via the Remote Disc feature.

DVD or CD Sharing LeopardThis feature makes it possible to use another computer’s optical drive to run installation software on DVD or CD on a MacBook Air, which lacks its own optical disk.

Once enabled, the DVD or CD Sharing feature has one option with a check box: Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive. Turning on this option ensures that you approve any shared use of the disk.
