I am running 10.3 and was able to burn the CD (not using Disk Copy) and 
got it to boot.  There are issues with the X configs (not properly 
detecting), key bindings are all off (using .de), it's in german (as in 
the error messages on the command line) and it can't start kde, but it 
booted to Linux on an old 400MHz iMac (original Indigo).
