Way to go Wiktor, I thought someone might be willing to help.
I can't as I don't have anything other than the last zpPC OSX variant.

Thanks for the help guys. I ordered a 10.4 DVD and it won't boot - the powerbook needs >10.4.3 - total bummer. These discs are hard to find. :(

PM Wiktor Glowacki (pampers), I'm sure he can help you dig up the right CDs.
He has (or at least one time had) the hi-res version of the PowerBook you mentioned.
Really, all you need is to find someone with a set of the Tiger install CD for that system.
MacOS/OSX CDs are notoriously specific to the models they were shipped with.
I have a set similar to those you purchased, intended for a PowerMac G4, and I'm pretty sure they won't work with your system.

But the original CDs may be copyable, and I've heard of people that have set up bootable USB thumb drives with the install files from the correct CD.
You just need to find someone who is relatively knowledgeable about Macs (and that's NOT me, as I had a long held bias against Apple - even though I've come to appreciate OSX).

But again, contact Wiktor, he's quite knowledgeable about those laptops.
AND, he offered to help.

Thanks! Yep, emailed him a few hours ago, but I suspect it's midnight in his location so patiently waiting until he gets up. Your advice is appreciated!
