Cannot Install Bundled Software

I have a PowerMac G4. I wanted to use 10.3 and saw disks on sale on ebay - a couple seller's each with a number of auctions had info in their ads claiming these would install on any G3/G4/G5. I received 10.3.5 DVDs labeled Power Mac G5. (Yes - I have DVD drive.) I tried to install both with 10.2.8 running and after wiping the drive - everytime I end up with message saying "cannot install bundled software" then a blue screen with a clock-like wheel.
