Hi,

Im using the HOTiSO 10.4.6 installer DVD with a DVD-RW

When i try to boot with it, Darwin/x86 loads and asks me to press any key if i want to install osx

after i press any key... i see the grey apple screen with the thing near the bottom that keeps spinning

it continues like this for around 10-15 minutes, after which i got fed up and tried again...same result.


is there a problem with using dvd-rw's? i would try dvd-r but i dont have any. Or, does it always take this long, and i just have to be more patient?

Thanks  a lot!


EDIT: ok so i ran the installer with -v

this is what i get
