ok I have a G3 800 ibook that I bought used and it didnt come with any os cds. I bought some original OS cds from someone here on the forums, they are original and say G4 Ibook 10.3.5. after i choose english install language it reads the cd and then says bundled software cannot install on this machine and the only option is to close the installer. Will these cds only install on a G4 machine?

Those discs will only install on an iBook G4. They won't work on any other Mac.
