It is necessary to have the right boot image so you can boot the system from a CD. I thought that I gave you a link to a boot image that you already had on your dvd that you could boot your Mac and then use the DVD for the rest of it. Of course, you can download the CD images if you like too. Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
