I think I am sol

[David Wadson]

I've had lots of trouble with Old World machines (pre-G3) trying to 
install from the CDs. Either they wouldn't boot into the installer or 
they would have trouble reading packages. I've had much better luck 
getting machines to install via NFS, with the contents of the CDs 
dumped onto one of our XServes and shared via OS X Server 10.3.x. A 
barebones install of OS 8.5, BootX, the YDL kernel images (regular and 
boot), and the ramdisk can be squeezed onto a 50MB partition. Granted, 
you could very well have deeper technical problems with the install 
than simply not being able to read a disk but that stuff will probably 
be easier to figure out if you can avoid the hassle of dirty, 
tempermental CD-ROM drives..
