If the G4 originally came with 10.4 or earlier you can load 10.4. You will
have to wipe your drive first. Meaning backup everything as it will now be
gone. If you insert the 10.4 disc (must be retail disc or from the EXACT
model computer*) restart and hold the "c" on the keypad. This will boot from
your CD. Just install with the option to erase drive.

*If you have an install disc from another model computer (such as a G3, or a
different model g4) it will not let you install the OS.
