[QUOTE="DAC1138, post: 128970"] weird. the linux cd was burned the same way on the same type of cd at the same speed. but then again, i know macs use a different CD filesystem, which might explain it. but then, why doesnt system 8.6 boot? the HD that was originally in the b&w (now in the beige) wont even boot, it just gets the same flashing icons. this might help, i got 2 pics of the current setup. [url]http://www.dac1138.5gigs.com/images/g31.JPG[/url] [url]http://www.dac1138.5gigs.com/images/g32.JPG[/url] 3 of the 4 ram sticks are 128 mb, and the last is 64 mb. i borrowed them from an older compaq i have. i pulled the drive bay out to make it easier to access the drive. the 2 pci cards in there are the ati video card and the scsi adapter.
