I found that the optical drive in a Titanium PowerBook is the same model used in the G4 mini. But I've also had good luck with net installs. I run tftpd from OS X on my Intel mini, let my G4 mini get an address from DHCP (auto taken care of when you use 'boot enet'), then specify the tftp server in my boot params. My open firmware command looks something like: boot enet:192.168.111.34,yaboot
