Hi Mark, > I've tried again with a couple of different methods, and even used > another slightly newer iMac, got same results. i even tried booting > into OSX, formatting drive (both with and without OS9 compatibility > turned on) and used the HFS+ partition to do the (A)uto option in the > installer.

Might have to disable this for PPC :( Try a manual partition e.g. use the arrow keys to scroll to a partition, and then pick 'C' to create. You will be prompted to pick between filesystem and swap, and if you pick filesystem, you are then prompted for the mountpoint. I generally use one big partition for '/', and one for swap and that's it. > It also was unable to find the install CD/DVD media. That's the known problem with that particular model. later, Peter.
