Help Installing OSX Panther

[Berty]

Hi,

I just got a G4 mac and i need to install the os (long story) basically there is a pc formatted drive in the mac with nothing on it. I have got all of the original install discs.

When i boot up the mac, (with the OSX disc inb the drive) nothing happens, all i get is that icon that alternates between a folder icon and the mac smiley face thing. What do i need to do?

Hold down the 'c' key on the keyboard while booting up (with cd in drive). Also, make sure that your hard drive has the correct jumper settings for master/slave.
