I have iMac Power PC G4, 700 Mhz, 128 MB RAM, CDRW and OS X 10.3 (Panther) running.

I have downloaded Tiger CD version from torrent and burned to CDs. It boots up successfully from CD1 but after few minutes of acticity it just hangs up and only blue screen appears, there is no mouse pointer and nothing else, I waited for long time.

Someone suggested to upgrade firmware. I tried searching firmware upgrade on apple site, but didn't find any for my machine.

I also tried the trick by directly running file "OSInstall.mpkg" in "System\Installation\Packages" in CD1, it starts setup but after few seconds it gives the error "BaseSystem cannot be installed on this computer." "This software cannot be installed on this computer"

I have 128MB. Can this be the problem? Because it requires 256MB as in docs. I can't spend on RAM anymore, is there any solution to this.

Please help me to get out of this problem.

I am very thankful to u.
