Powerbook disc for tower?

Comment:

I have a regular Mac G4 that I bought used with lotsa crap in it from the original owner. There are some problems with it and I'm considering starting clean with a new install of OS X. problem is I don't have the original disks. I had bought some disks for a Powerbook Mac that never got used (OS 10.3.3 - Software install and restore) Can I use these on a regular G4?

You can try, but most likely won't work. Disc that shipped from Apple are specific to the machine they shipped with.
