Opening DVD on Startup ???

[Apple Corps]

I have done a zero security write to a new boot drive and forgot how to get my G5 Powermac to open the dvd door on startup so I can put the install disks in and start up from them. What keys do I hold down on start up to get the door open??

Just hold down your primary mouse button during startup and it should work.

That did it - thanks! Very basic but important when you need it (and forgot how to do it!!!)

I've got a PowerMac and holding down the left mouse button during Start-up (that Mac noise) didn't work. Instead, I had to use a paper clip to open the drive through the mini-hole in the front of the drive, put the DVD in, and close it manually.
