 I own a wallstreet and beige g3 tower. I'd like to upgrade them to OSX. I

 run?

 TIA


 For the time being it's OSX 10.2 Jaguar. However, XPostFacto 3 
alpha already
 >> has 10.3 Panther running on some Beige G3s and Wallstreets.

 Thanks for the help. I'm going to put Jaguar on the G3 tower next
 week, and I'd like to make sure I'm prepared. What version of XPF
 should I use? I'm not sure if the latest alpha version is stable for
 everything except video on a beige g3 with panther, or if I should
 use an older version to keep things stable. Could someone recommend a
 particular version for me please?
 The XPF documentation didn't make it clear for me how XPF is used. I
 understand that it is used during the installation process, but does
 it run everytime you use OSX as well? The documentation mentions
 using XPF to select OSX as your startup when switching back from OS9
 as a startup disk. Before reading that I thought XPF was only used
 for the initial installation.
 TIA,
 Andrew
You don't need xpf for jag on a beige g3.  max the video ram, max the system
ram, put in a fast (5400rpm or better) hd, partition with the first segment
to hold less than 8 gigs.  Put jag on the first partition.  done.

Well, don't I feel brilliant! ;)

Somewhere along the line I got the impression it was needed for ANY 
OSX version. I'll have to wait a little on the memory upgrades, will 
I be ok with only 192mb ram for a while? I'm not using Photoshop or 
anything huge like that.

Thanks again.
