Hello there! So, I have a few older devises as seen in tags. I have Zorin now on the iMac. I am thing to use the G4 as a back up or maybe a server. I have put it in target disk mode, using fw800 I was able to erase and reformatted the whole drive, 4 partitions, to ex fat or fat, I can't remember. I have burned a Lubuntu iso to a dvd+r rw and no luck. I think I need to somehow format the G4 first? I've mostly gone of searching on web and learning as I go. I just want to make best use for all this equipment! Right now there is no OS on G4 I believe.

Thanks for anything!
