I added an unformatted drive, and have tested the hard wear with Ubuntu Linux Live CD which runs Linux from CD without installing fine. However, I appear not to be able to install the real software, and suspect the CD's, but would welcome advice. I purchase new, sealed OSX 10.3 DVDs, useless to me, but came with two back up CD versions, which, I manually place in the CD drive, fire up holding the "C" button down, and watch the finder in a folder, and ? pulse on the display. The CD drive fires to full speed in 12 to 14 second bursts. Am I missing something, or is it likely duff CD? Can I get legit OSX 10.3 in the UK without ebay?</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">Thanks</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">Trying to escape windows <span><Emoticon1.gif></span></font></div></div> _______________________________________________<br>G4 mailing list<br><a href="mailto:G4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com">G4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</a><br>http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/g4</blockquote></div><br></body></html>
