[G4] Installing os9

[Sims David]

Hello Bob,

Please let us know exactly what OS 9 CD you are using. If it is a G4  
install disk with 9.2 on it, it would have come with a  quicksilver.  
I am not sure it this would cause a problem or not. Do you know  
anyone with a retail version of OS 9 you could try. Perhaps the  
problem is a defective CD?  What about your optical drive?
