7.1, update to 7.1.3.
Okay, now for System 7.1 confusion:
My understanding is that there is a System 7.1, System 7.1.2, and System 7.1.3. But I am also under the impression that System 7.1 Update 3 does not upgrade your system to System 7.1.3. Taking System 7.1 and upgrading it with update 3 certainly doesn't make it work on a PowerMac (unless there is something I am missing).
Hmm, good question.
The mac I fired up to look at is running 7.1.1, I'm not sure if I applied update 3 which I'll do after work and let you know.
Minimum OS for ppc macs is 7.1.2 from memory. 7.1 plain wouldn't have enough fat in it to run a ppc. These macs are better suited to 7.5.x
The system software indicator did not change from 7.1.1 to 7.1.3.
I should have said, the System Update 3.0 as its a bug fix for many standard macos ext and cp's.
Thanks for picking me up on that one. ;)
Given the OS you copying to the powermac is both above 7.1.2 and is a custom install "for all Macs" and also has any required enablers and hasn't been copied from a dirty rom mac and fits the powermacs compatibility.... I can't see where you could have a problem. ;)

Now I do have 7.1.3 somewhere on some mac.....
