Re: Beige and OS X (Panther)

[John Slavin]

I'm curious if anyone has been able to get jaguar installed on a beige 
G3  with the 10.2 upgrade as opposed to the full install and if if 
matters whether it's 10.2 or 10.2x upgrade vs. full install.  I simply 
can't figure out what else to do.  It makes no sense to me why some 
would install and and mine and others won't.

Make
sure you format the drive as a HFS+ with the os 9 drivers! That�s is 
all I
had to do to make it work great, UNIX format sucked and was slow. I 
how ever
have not been able to solve this, when I boot from a CD it wont boot 
back to
the os X drive but boots into 9 and I cant get in to X not even with 
the
option Key. I have to use the startup disk control panel. But other 
then
that X has been fast and great. I only wish I can solve some network 
issues.
I am even running a USB keyboard and mouse with no trouble. And I have 
the
evil 4 port I here are bad to use, I am however am going to replace it 
with
a 2 port belkin just to be on the safe side. But things are working 
well so
far. Oh and you should apply the 10.2.6 UPDATE after 10.2 cd install! 
or X
will break! Also people with a PCI video card should be aware that 
they will
not see the full startup screen in X, since X has not installed 
drivers at
that point of boot! X also does not boot super fast in the beginning. 
But I
must say X takes my breath away. I was shocked over how cool it really 
is,
but there is so much I miss in classic that X does not have. :-(

I guess I just must be incredibly lucky because I installed OS X on a
Beige G3 desktop without a hitch. I'm kind of curious about the types 
of
problems people are having.
