Works great, actually. This is how I installed 8.6 on my 1400 from my B/W G3. If you're paranoid about "G3 optimized" (or, like me, want a verysmall OS on your PB), use Wish I Were... (can't remember where I got it.. i used google :p ) and set your machine to something close (I used 5300c for the 1400, and it works great... as great as a low-ram 1400 *can* work) HTH. -Dragoth ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
