Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I also tried the device you mention -
mac53c94.o but no go
I would like to know if any one here tried to copy the CD install disk
to a Hard drive and then select in the Installer the media source as:
Harddisk . . .
I think I'm going to try this as soon as I've freed one of my partitions
