Jim,
I appreciate your input. I don't know if waiting and trying to Load
OS X later will do much good. I have been trying to load OS X for
almost a year, trying every few months. Recently, I upgraded my disk
drive from 4 Gigs to 12 Gigs, and formatted the disk into two
partitions, the lower one being 8 Gigs. Of course, I will keep trying,
but I don't have much confidence that it will ever work. The only OS X
system disks I have are OS 10.2. These disks loaded OK on my G3 Blue &
White 400 Mhz Mac, so I think that the disks are OK.

I know this is probably not going to be helpful for getting X on the
WS; however, I had a similar problem installing X on a B/W. I tried
and tried and tried and tried. I swapped memory and tried a number
of things that didn't work. Then I gave up. One day a FEW months
later--about seven--I gave it a try. And lo! it installed without a
hitch. I have no clue why after so many months it allowed the
installation.
I guess the point is that you can try all the freakin' tech stuff that
should allow you to do what you know you should be able to do on the
machine, but the machine sometimes decides when it will do it. ;-)
Serious suggestion: try a different HD. I had a WS--a 4 GB
original--that would do the same thing when I was installing X.2. I
bought a new HD--a 20 GB--and partitioned it per the specs
and--voilá!--it installed without a hitch. Also, I have had terrible
luck installing and working with X.2 on a WS. X.3 has proven
flawless.
