Q: OSX 10.4.11 Installer Disc 2 Freeze
Greetings all-
I am working on restoring/updating a eMac which was originally running 10.3.9. I aquired a 10.4.11 install disc, and strted to update the software. The first install disc downloaded fine, howver, when I put the second install disc into the computer, the download freezes. It is stuck on "preparing for installastion" or it will quit halfway through the download and say to ry again later. I cannot quit the installer, and am very confused. Any ideas on how to either successfully install the software, or to force quit the installer, thanks.
eMac, Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Power down the Mac, holdalt key & mouse button down on power up, to eject Disc#2 & show the Boot Manager, insert Disc#1, click 34/ circle on left, wait, choose to boot from Disc#1, then...
That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether. Reboot & hold the Option/at key as well as the left Mouse button to eject Disc#2 & bring up the Startup manger to choose Disc #1 again.
