FWIW, Jaguar ain't gonna work either.  I've been trying to install X.1 
and x.2 on a Beige DT for two weeks.  No joy yet.  Mine too only has 
SCSI drives.  An IDE ought to be arriving in a day or two. Maybe that's 
the glitch.  Other than SCSI drives mine's a box stock 266 G-3. A 
"supported" machine.

The first indication of trouble was the "Cannot switch to CD" message 
when the Install button was pressed.  Manually setting it to boot from 
the CD and restarting results in a black screen.  Holding 'option' down 
and warm booting gets to the open firmware prompt with no keyboard 
response. A PRAM zap brings it back to booting off the HDD. Same results 
with the "C" key and the Vulcan Nerve Pinch.

It is just soooooo windows like. On a Mac you put the CD in the drive, 
boot to it and run the installer.  Not with Eks.
