Re: iBook dilema
The gray disk you you are using does not recognize the trackpad, and is looking for a bluetooth mouse. You will need a retail disk, or a gray install disc from a later machine.

The 'book had syst 10.4.8 on it but I had no passwords etc. so I deceided to re-install the same system using the disks that i had and had used on various other computers including a 17 Powerbook. All was well until the computer restarted to begin the install process. On the screen appeared a graphic depicting what looked like a wireless mouse with a diagram showing battery installation. The install stopped at that point and would go no further. I simply could not figure out how to get past this mouse diagram thing. A subsequent install of Syst 10.5 was successful, but I need Syst 10.4 in order to use Classic. Must I totally erase the drive? Does this mouse thing reside on the 10.4 install disk or what? Any advise would be welcomed. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: iBook dilema
In this case, the grey disk ismissing something - the device specific drivers for the trackpad.
