Sorry, I forgot to post this to the list. Regards,

This one will look for the type of machine for which it was intended (iMac, G4, etc.). Rather, dig through the various folders until you find one marked System Install (or something like that). In this folder is another MacOS installer program. This one *should* work on any Mac. I say should, because I used my MacOS Software Install disk from my Bondi iMac (now running 8.6) to install 8.0 on my PB 5300cs. But I couldn't use the included 8.1 updater to go from 8.0 to 8.1 - I had to download the 8.1 updater directly from Apple. Good luck.
