I tried to install OS 10.2 Server on a G4 single processor 1.0 Ghz machine with OS 10.2.6 already installed. The OS 10.2 Server installer stated that it would not install over a newer version of the OS. I thought I could just boot from the 10.2 server disk and erase the disk with disk utilities and then install OS 10.2 server; however, the G4 refused to boot from the OS 10.2 server CD-ROM. The G4 would only boot from an OS 10.2.3 CD-ROM or higher. I reinstalled OS 10.2.3, but the OS 10.2 server software would still not install. I thought I could install OS 10.1 and then install OS 10.2 server; however, the G4 would not boot from the OS 10.1 CD-ROM. What steps do I need to take to get OS 10.2 Server installed on the G4 1.0 GHz computer?
