Figure I try asking here in case anyone knows:
I recently got a used power Mac (I think g4) and am having difficulty reformatting it.
I have tried doing command + R on reboot, but nothing happens. I am not sure what version of Mac os x I have, but I think it might be snow leapord. In that case, I might need the install disk...which I also don't have.
I also do not know the existing user login. So I am now with a useless machine that I can't use. Also, macs are very foreign to me, so I'm a bit lost.
In worst case, I am considering loading linux onto it.
Any ideas?
