Well, I posted this a few hours ago, but not a single person has replied, so I'll try again. I bought an iMac G4 800Mhz processor, and 256MB of Ram, and a formatted hard drive, so there's nothing on it. I've tried burning a few OS's onto a dual layer DVD, but when I try to boot it up with the disc, it gives me a blank screen, if I try to do it with a USB, blank screen. When I boot it up normally, it shows a finder icon, and a ? folder. I have a generic Keyboard and mouse, and I know what the option keys, and command keys are. I've never owned an iMac before, so I know nothing. Please help

You need Mac to burn OS image to DVD. Use 10.4 as it's the last PPC optimised OS. You don't need DL-DVD for 10.4
