so I have a 1ghz powerbook with tiger installed, and have borrowed some disks (that came with a 1.5ghz PB).. I need to do a clean install but the installer says 'this software cannot be installed on this machine'
are those disks somehow geared up to certain processors or what? whats the deal?

ah now the shoe is on the other foot.
i'd tell you but first, to help pass the time, take your frustration out on your garbage disposal using your face.

good we're even.
yes. not necessarily that way but the cds only work on the machine they came with. two identical powerbooks it would work on but not an ibook and powerbook, or not two powerbooks like you have here.
bullshit.
my old g4 shit the bed and i just tried booting off my powerbook cd to correct the problem and it wouldn't let me do it.
sorry dude. can't do it.

look for a Tiger GM/ gold master via filesharing and it should be ok to install on any machine.

I installed OS 9 that came with a G4 on like 12 machines and a purchased disk of Panther and Tiger on at least 4 machines.
This is the first I am hearing of this... is this just a laptop thing?
