If you are interested in classic Mac OS, be aware that its installation discs are language specific.Likewise if you want to install the version of Mac OS X that shipped with the Mac you might require the bundled gray installation media.The same is true for the last Macs capable of running Mac OS X 10.6 in 2010/11: they require at least 10.6.7, so a full retail 10.6 installer DVD will not work due to missing drivers. Bare 10.4.0 installer discs may not work. the last PowerPC based Macs in 2005 came with 10.4.2 pre-installed. The newer the model, the more likely a specific bundled version is required due to driver requirements.There is at least one rare Tiger installer on 4 CDs, so there is a way if you look really hard to find it. This is an issue with Mac OS X Tiger which came on DVDs.
Naturally, Macs with CD drives cannot use DVD installation media.Every Mac OS X installation method has support for all language that are available within Mac OS X.Naturally there are ways to circumvent those checks. That's one of the good things from Apple: only one version for every Macintosh computer. Other than this check however it is the exact same installation as the one you will get from the full retail and the gray bundled installation media. Is it found it will continue, is it not found the installation will be cancelled. As for the retail upgrade version of Mac OS X: they look for an existing installation of Mac OS X.As for the retail versions of Mac OS X installation media: they behave just the same, obviously.For that the specific model is checked by the installer and if they don't match up, no luck. The only thing that will not work is the software restore.Any gray Mac OS X installation media (CD or DVD) will install Mac OS X on any supported Mac.Sorry, I know this topic is from 2017, but just for future reference:
