In 2002 OS-10.4 Tiger did not yet exist! Probably came with 10.3 Panther on 3 Cds...
And/Or Classic OS-9.x.x which also was included n Cd... I had an iMac 15" G4/800 "Lampy" from 2008 to 2012 It ran with 9.2.2 and 10.4 After 9.1 and 10.3.. FLASH support issues killed it for ME!! Your G4/700 iLamp should install 10.4 Tiger from the RETAIL universal installer DVD (Black with X) Mine did! $10 to $15 on eBay Grey dedicated disks for newer machines will NOT WORK! No guesswork, here! I know my cookies... Your will want TenFourFox the updated browser from PPC Luddites... I use it on my 2004 iBook G4 1.33 14" with both Tiger AND 10.5 Leopard.. Good Luck!
