I had removed the ram then restarted. Didn't look at devaluas for the USB
because of taking out the ram.
It is a dual core G5.
Next time I am at my friend's place where the machine is kept, I will look
at the devaluas for the USB.
Will probably need to burn a disc. Also need to see if it is a DVD+/- for
the readable disc writer.
