So, I should (could) try to repeat the procedure, and try to install 5.0 on the rather recalcitrant iBook thru the use of the (half-dead) PowerBook? Reminds me of how I got High Sierra onto the disk that would not boot, because (I found out later) a defunct HD cable? With the use of a "disk driver" (power & USB) that allowed the disk to hook up to my Mini, so I could format it & put in a new System & restore from backup? :) Should I then stick the 5.0-disk in the PB or the iB? I mean, it runs 5.x from the PB thru FireWire. Weird seeing that olllld start-up-screen… :) But, as mentioned before, it flat out refuses to boot from the DVD/CD. Hm. I haven’t tried that "startup disk"-thingy in System Prefs on that, yet… Stay tuned!
