Yeah it is a universal install disk. When I try and get it to boot with the C key I get the white screen with the grey Apple logo, but it does not seem to be doing anything. Is there some way to bring up a verbose mode that would tell me if the computer is doing anything? Furthermore if for some reason it won't boot using the internal DVD drive can I boot from an external USB DVD drive to do the install?
