[G4] Mac compatible DVD burners

[Frank Dutra]

>THANKS SNOW WHITE,

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it's a DVD version 1.0, Mac OSX 
10.2.4 eMac disk.

I tried launching with option down on restart and was able to get to 
the command line interface and type in "Mac-boot" to continue 
launching  (9.2.2) where the
OS x DVD disc appeared on my Main Drive with the stalled stop-watch 
cursor. After 4 minutes the alias's appeared in the OS X DVD window. 
Clicking on the "Install OS X" icon resulted in a " The alias Mac OS 
could not be launched because a disk error has occurred" message 
which is pretty much as far as I've gotten to in the past.

Anyone?
