purchased a new mac mini that arrived with 10.4 pre-loaded. Need to either drop it down to 10.3, problem is that it won't allow any generic (not machine specific) 10.3 Cds to install?

I've read that they'll only start up with 10.7 or higher?

The only thing that comes to mind is Carbon Copy Cloner using a disk with 10.3.9

yeah, that's it, so long as the new ones start up at all in 10.3. anything.

Why do you need to downgrade it? This is not generally recommended.

We like to have three partitions or more partitions (or drives) to run 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 , 10.2 upgrade, 10.3 upgrade..etc..... For testing our OS X software (http://www.microworlds.com)

The 10.3.9 drive and carbon copy cloner worked fine to load 10.3. You're sure that the mini simply won't start up in 10.2?

Thanks much.

Shawn
