I am curious to use 10.1 on a different partitian of my 1.42GHz MDD Powermac, but it does not allow me to boot into it. What is it about my computer that prevents that, and is there a way to bypass it? I don't want to harm the computer, but I want to try out 10.1 just to see how different it looks from 10.3, and how it would perform on my computer. It's not urgent, or even important, but I've been trying to do it for a while with no success, so I thought I would turn to the MacNN Forums for help.

Can anyone help me boot the Puma?
My Computer: MacBook Pro 2GHz, Mac OS X 10.4.5

10.1 won't boot that system. I believe 10.2 is the earliest you can install.

The oldest system any particular computer can boot is the one it shipped with. Your MDD is too new to run 10.1.
