    I try to install os X in a old imac 333mhz with slow slot cdrom, for it.
    I boot with cd of osX and it begin to install, display the first screen of intallation but it don't pass of it. (the cdrom spin fast)

    Notes:

    I have upgrade the rom of imac
    The ram is 64mb
    Hd is 6GB
    The actually so is os 9.2.x
    The cd read other recorded cds
    I have various cds downloaded of edonkey and all make the same


    Other question:
    the cdrom of imac are normal IDE?
    i'm thinking in put a pc ide cdrom and try,
    why the ide cable of imac cross some wires?
    is it for slave? is not necesary a slave jumper?


    Sorry for my english .)

    tHANks

    There's your problem. You wouldn't want to install OS X even if you could--not with such a pitifully small sliver of RAM.

    Buy more RAM. A LOT more RAM.
