OSX install on G4

[Joe]

So I recently got an older G4 (400 mhz AGP).  I also bought 10.2.4 
install disks--originally from an iBook--that are supposed to install 
on any supported machine.  It seems like maybe there's something wrong 
with the install disks--I can't boot from them.  When I try to do so, I 
get the Open Firmware screen.

I'm pretty sure it's the disk and not the machine because it does the 
same thing when I use my existing G4 (same thing--400mHz AGP).

Any ideas?  Am I stupid, or is there no other way to install X without 
starting up from the install CD?  (I've tried using startup disk and 
simply starting up holding down "C" on the keyboard--same results.)

Thanks!
Joe
