I´ve downloaded and burnt the install DVD about 4 times triybg different writing speeds, burning software and pretty much anything you can imagine, is there anybody that con tell me what to do? thank you very much
I have seen other threads where they believe that this is due to bad media. It may be worth checking out.

However, I believe that the installer is not recognizing the DVD player. It is looking for either cd:/// or dvd:/// -- and I think, on the PowerBook G4, that this device is called something else. I am going to do a web search and see if there is any information about this problem. Of course, if anyone here can help, fell free to add your suggestions.

Thanks,

Matthew
