Greetings folks, This may be a no-brainer Q... but I don't know... I'm thinking of buying from a certain vendor a G4 ibook that comes without an OS. My Q is, How can you install an OS if it doesn't already have one?
I have OS 9.1 CDs which came with this current G3 ibook (300mhz, 6gig, 128 ram). Will a G4 ibook (800mhz, 30gig, 640 ram) without any OS on it, let me "boot from" and/or "install" this OS 9.1-CD, for starters? (Eventually I would look to buy OSX CDs, etc.) In other words, I'm sure the machine will turn "on," but then what? Will a G4 ibook w/o any OS on it even let you get to the "Start Up Disk" in the Apple Menu/Control Panels so you can set it to start up on the OS 9.1 CD? And then would it let me merely "copy to HD" the entire OS 9.1 from the CD? If so, that'd be great. But if not, I wouldn't want to buy this G4 ibook if I can't even make it work. If it's more complicated than what I described above, does anyone know of a webpage or URL that would list "How To" do such a thing, step-by-step? Thanks for any tips!
