On that type of hardware, you can partition under OS 9 to get a 7.9GB + #GB partition split so you can properly install OS X. X doesn't care where you put OS 9 for Classic, so that won't be a problem. (The reason why you have to partition is due to some hold-overs from old versions of Open Firmware from the pre-G3 Powermacs) For this same reason, I don't think you need a firmware update before installing X, although I would go to Apple's website and check anyways. - Adam -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
