Jeya, that version of iMac doesn't come with OS X, it's only OS 9.

Iswang, get a firewire cable, start your iMac by holding "T", when u see the screen turn blue with a floating firewire "Y-shape" icon, plug the firewire cable to the iMac & MacMini. Insert the MacMini installer into your MacMini, start the installation, let it reboot, when OS X installer start choose the iMac HDD as your destination.

All intel system's Tiger installer are system locked, even on Macbook CoreDuo & Core 2 Duo you can't share them.

Threadstarter, disc1 of OSX installer is all you need.

you should seriously consider to add more RAMs.
