I want to re-install OS 10.2 but can't find the disks

I have an old iMac G4 that I want to re-install the OS but don't have the disks. Any idea of where I can find a copy of OS 10.2? I tried installing an 10.4 but the machine won't accept that version of OS X.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).


The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.


If they no longer stock the very old Panther OS, try eBay but make sure they are retail disks, not some machine-specific update.
