I popped the install disk in and restarted about 2 hours ago and it's been "spinning the gray wagon wheel" ever since. I remember a co-worker frying an optical drive on a desktop G4 by interrupting a software install once. Am I going to do any damage to the hardware if I just give up on the install and pop the battery out?

Damaging the optical drive by quitting an install is highly unlikely...

You've probably noticed this before - we always ask if the Install DVD was a gray one made for this specific model of Mac. They don't work for other (even similar) models.
