Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I was able to install 6.06 but

I am puzzled why no one here has suggested any reference to the MaXlist.

The reason that I will sleep my iMac during boot is that I sometimes will have

No problem Bill. Anyway, I was sleeping it because I had te urge to use it,
started it up and then realized that I didn't have a keyboard for it at the
moment :) anyway, does anyone know why the HD might rev up during sleep mode?
BTW, I just checked in system profiler and it is actually a
No; G3's, G4's and G5's won't boot to USB devices without some very extensive
work on the external device. I've tried before to do this with an external USB
HD, without any luck. Too bad they never made FireWire thumb drives... You
can't boot from a disk image, because in order to open that

You said you're new to mac?... fyi re keyboards and such, on usb-macs
they're 'hot-pluggable', so don't panic if you start up without a
