Here's the copy:

First Reader Report on iLife/iDVD3 Install w/Retail Superdrive/no iDVD2 
(Rumors Put to Rest) - Here's the first reader report on iLife/iDVD3 
installs on a system  that has a retail Pioneer DVR-105 (aka the latest 
"superdrive" retail model) and no previous iDVD install:

" Mike:
  Picked up iLife last night for my Dual G4 450 - recently updated with 
a Pioneer DVR-105 drive. I had no previous version of iDVD on the unit.

The install was flawless until the required Restart at the end of the 
install, and then the system crashed. I restarted, and the system took 
an extra 2 minutes to come back up, but the software works great!
  Thanks for the greatest Mac site!

So this should put the rumors of not working with other than OEM 
superdrives, etc. to rest.
