At the risk of being outed as a pirate...
I bought my wife a 700 iBook with Jaguar on it and reinstalled my 500 iBook with her disks. I haven't had any problems.

Well... legal issues aside [[nearly puts out his back trying to
shove that mountain aside temporarily]]
OS X installer CD's are backwards-compatible, but not forward- compatible. You can't expect a year-old CD to have all the necessary drivers for a current unit. For example, you wouldn't expect a 10.1.3 installer CD to support a unit that shipped with 10.2.4 installed, would you ? As for the original post, this does not seem right/"normal." Not at all - every new Apple unit normally ships with the appropriate system installer CD(s). However, it's certainly possible that the wrong CD's were packed & shipped with the box, or that CD #1 is corrupt/compromised. That is unlikely, yet certainly possible. Either way, terribly unfortunate ! |
