Is the rest of the iLife '04 package installed? Does the iBook G4 have a DVD drive?

AFAIK it should have been included since it's a part of iLife '04...I would call Apple...

which do your iBook have: DVD-R / DVD-RW or standard DVD reader drive?

iDVD require DVD-R / DVD-RW, not standard DVD reader drive.

But you should still be able to install it as the new version allows you to install iDVD on a Mac w/out a drive and then transfer the project to a mac with one.

That being said, you can only install GB and iDVD from the install DVD. Those two applications aren't on the CD. Double check to see if you don't have one (install DVD, that is). If not, call Apple as you should have had two iLife '04 discs, one CD, one DVD.
