From: J Spock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>No, I'm not. I too have noticed that SOME versions of the iBook CD sets will start up an iMac, but as a broad rule of thumb you should use a set made for your model. Power Mac G4 CDs probably WON'T startup or install on an iMac, for example.

All of the above applies mainly to OS 9 CDs, btw. As near as I can tell, ALL Mac OS X cds are "generic," meaning they'll boot up anything that can run OS X.
Option key trick only works if 9 and X reside on different partitions=20
or disks.
That's correct.
