.dmg files are Mac OsX related. If you try to mount them from Mac OS 9.x, no chance !

If you're running Mac Osx 10.2 Jaguar, normally they can mount.

But -again as my post above about Tiger-,

(1) are your Panther .dmg files images of Panther official Retailled Cds or not ?

(2) Panther CDs for an iMac cannot be used to install Panther on a PWB and vice versa: so be sure of your sources or be prepared to nightmares because installing a wrong dedicated Panther release may harm your machine

(3) an update of your machine firmware are compulsory before going to Panther and this update can only be done when booting on 9.x

(4) a 9.2.2 release prior to the install of panther is helpfull -especially if you run old applications that have not been port

Panther retail CDs are sold on ebay for a few bucks, so do not play with fire.
