[X-Newbies] Installing Panther on a ethernet network?

[Jane]

I cannot imagine what that message was about not being able to install 
from an external firewire drive..is there anything attached?

I just installed Panther on an iMac DV/500 SE with no problems. I 
updated the 9.0.4 to 9.1 just so I could add the new firmware, then I 
booted from the first OS X CD and wiped the drive and installed Panther 
without a hitch.
