As with many things Apple, the standard, is there is no standard. <G> The 9.2.0 Install CD that came with the daughter's 350 iMac slot load is certainly specific to the iMac. It won't install on any other Mac or Mac clone around here.
The 9.2.1 retail CD I have will install on everything here. The Jaguar 10.2.0 install disc's that came with my Dual 867 MDD wont work on her iMac, however, the retail version of Jaguar worked just fine.
