Eh. I didn't know there was such an animal. And I'm doutful. All the
10.4 DVD's I have seen are a full 10.4, which will either upgrade or
install anew. It would be a pain if you had to rebuild a trashed system
by first installing 10.3 and then upgrading. I've never heard anyone
have to do such a thing, as would be needed if there was an "upgrade
only" DVD.
Did you actually look on the dvd and scroll down? The only step to
proceed through is mounting the CD and scrolling down. Do *NOT* start
an install or upgrade. Just scroll down the window. Really. Try it. If
you are talking about "not getting to that step", that sure sounds like
you are trying to do an install/upgrade instead of just scrolling down
the window.

That's exactly the message I got in my 10.4 system when I tried to use
the x11usr.pkg downloaded from Apple's. The x11usr.pkg from Apple's web
site is 10.3 only (unless they have upgraded it since I last looked) and
gets *exactly* that message if you try to install it on a 10.4 system.
And I've seen several other people get the same message from installing
the x11usr.pkg from Apple. Where did you get x11.pkg if it wasn't from
the DVD? If it was from Apple's web site, that's exactly the one that I
and several others got... and we saw exactly the same message. The
solution in every case has been to install the pkg that is on the 10.4
DVD instead.
