You are a lifesaver with your suggestion to keep pressing the eject button on the keyboard while booting. Phew is right. I was just about to attack the case with putty knives when I found your post. One favor desires another, I did an archive and install of Tiger on my 1.42Ghz G4 Mini with no problems. I then just moved applications from the "previous systems" directory where necessary. Actually a lot easier than trying to eject the CD! Cheers! Clicclic–

And you have a headless Mac Mini (no monitor)? Plug in a Mac keyboard and follow these helpful steps (thank you Simon!): Reboot the Mac Mini, then keep pressing the Eject CD button (the top right key on a Mac keyboard) until the CD/DVD ejects. Phew! To reboot a Mac Mini the "hard" way, press and hold in on the power button on the back of the little machine until the power light goes off. This may take 8-10 seconds. Now press the power key quickly a second time to start up the Mac Mini. Immediately start pressing the Eject key. If your keyboard doesn't have an eject key, this page says F12 serves a similar function. I havent tried it and am not sure. Now to research how to install Tiger on a 1.25Ghz G4 Mac Mini (early 2005) version... Is a Tiger (Mac OSX 10.4) DVD stuck in the CD/DVD drive? And you have a headless Mac Mini (no monitor)?

Yes, much confusion. I finally settled on a combination of <a href="http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">DoubleCommand</a> and setting the keyboard to "British windows" in OsX, but it certainly caused some head scratching at the time.
