[QUOTE="Ghostwolf, post: 128834, member: 11779"] I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, i went back & re-read & didn't see it mentioned anywhere. Along with the other requirements mentioned such as needing 256 MB of RAM, & a Mac with built in Firewire, you also need a Mac with a built in DVD-Rom drive (Unless you send in more money to Apple for CD-Roms). Maybe check the original media to see if it is in CD-Rom, or DVD-Rom format. Below are the requirements listed on Apple's website. :) Mac OS X Version 10.4 requires a Macintosh with: * PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor * Built-in FireWire * At least 256MB of physical RAM * A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer * At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools * DVD drive for installation (get CD media for $9.95) As mentioned before by others, i would suggest a prior version of Mac OS X such as 10.3 Panther. :) [/QUOTE]
