Im a mac noob. Plain and simple. The thing is, as with most geeks, I find that I like every assortment of systems and OS'es that I can aquire. I just love learning new things. Which brings me to my point. Im in desperate need of direction. I recently bought a Tangerine iMac G3. I have aquired a copy of OS X Tiger. I've been told by a few people, that its possible to install it only a G3, but the wiki's i've found are not written for a Mac noob such as myself. Are there any masters of the Mac here on abandonia that might direct me to the light?

Also, i need a keyboard and mouse for it. I know there are certain requirements for mac keyboards. What should I get?

How does one boot from a CD? I inserted the Mac OS X CD and rebooted it, but it never tried to read from the CD. Are there keystrokes that I will need to enter to initialize a boot sequence.

And on another note.... when turning the computer on. I get a fold icon in the center of the screen that flashes from a '?' to the MacFace in a continuous cycle. I was guessing this was a sign of no OS being loaded.

Thanks to any who post supporting comments and general insights.
