Can you tell me what the symptom was when you were unable to install it with the CD that wouldn't work? I tried to do an install on a machine, and couldn't get past the reboot into the installer. The screen stayed dark. The monitor appeared to be asleep actually, and nothing else happened. This was on Power Computing Power Tower 166 with a 200 mHz processor in it. I guess it's based on the Catalyst motherboard. Maybe there's some issues with that board ? A while back somebody posted something about doing this with similar machines here even tho this is the Supermac list, but I've been unable to find it.

Welcome Andrew, yes, many of us are running OS X on our S900's and J700's.
It can be tricky, but with a little homework you can avoid most of the
pitfalls. I have a Pioneer 32x CDROM that didn't work for early version OS X
install attempts (I had to use an old 4x8 Yamaha burner instead), but when I
attempted to do a clean install of Jaguar, the Pioneer did work. And Jaguar
also made it easier to install on machines with ATI video cards, so things
have improved somewhat over earlier OS X versions. And XPostFacto has gotten
better as well.
