Many thanks,

Hi,
it is, but it is set to Swedish and VoiceOver doesn't work very well
with the Swedish language. To change language you need to move it to
the top of a list.
Many thanks,

Hi Tim,
Many thanks for your help. What I found out now was that the copy of
Mac OS I got with the Mac cannot be installed. It refered me to the
documentation telling me what models are supported. So I have now
contacted them for a new DVD.
Its the new iMac wiht the 1.8 gHz Intel Dual Core.
All the best and many thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian,
1. What variety of iMac? G4, G5, newer, older?
2. You can try the following once the DVD is up in the old system:
a. Once the Install DVD is up, Close it's window.
b. Double-click on the icon for the DVD which should be on the right
hand side of your Desktop.
c. Press cmd+2 to put the Install DVD into List mode.
d. Double-click on the item named Install MacOS X. It may not be
named exactly that but close enough.
e. The iMac should then ask you to Restart and will automatically
start from the Install DVD.
3. Conversely, you could go under the Apple menu, choose system
Preferences, select the StartUp disk preference and choose the
Install DVD as your StartUp disk. This should do the same as item
#2.
If none of this works, there could be issues with your Install DVD.
Let me know how you do.
Later...
