thanks for your reply! there's a two CDs: one labelled "software install" and one labelled "software restore". the install CD says version 9.0.4, so I figured that would be the one I'm suppoed to use. I set the PB to never sleep and changed the extension settings and booted from the CD with no problems but when I launch the "Mac OS Installation" application it starts and then goes to a "this software cannot be installed on your machine" error.
should I be using the "software restore" CD instead of the "install" CD?
