Clemens a number of folks, specifically Jake Luck, have done it on the 2400, but it's really....really slow. The RAM requirement seemed to be the biggest constraint, even with 112MB.

There's a bit of info in the archives, though we never did a write-up on the 2400 site summarizing the issues, unfortunately.

I am running OSX on my 2400 G3 400mhz with 80meg of ram. I have recently purchased a 96meg RAM chip which will arrive in about a week. My question is...How much faster is OSX with 112meg than with 80meg? Has anyone experienced both?

uh...a whole lot slower than a TiBook or new iBook, with 128/256/512/1GB available at much lower cost.

Yeah, I know, I am being *way* too practical! =)

Hi all,
a few weeks ago i bought John Tree�s pb 2400c, which is very fast and nice and good to have (interware G3 320 mhz).
now i�d love to have OS X on it ...
has ANYBODY succeded in installing that WITHOUT taking the harddisk out? has anybody heard or read about a site where this might be explained? (i read the page by Ivan Drucker - but he put the hd into a desktop mac.)
i tried a lot of things myself. all i so far achieved was a near-GLOD that was hard to repair. so i don�t want to risk my new little darling for some wild scheme ...
greetings to you all, clemens
