First I have 20 Beige G3's from a recycler to be used in web, database and DNS service. They are great boxes for that. I have quite a few up already in these services.
The info-
On Rev2 and Rev3 models anything higher than a 10.2.0 *installer* will not work. I get crashes and video strangeness.
I have tried my 10.2.3 install disks and failed every time. Going back to my 10.2.0 disks gives me clean install every time.
I *can* patch a 10.2.0 install to 10.2.6 without issue it is just the installer that will not work.
I wonder if the same is true of Panther. I know the tales of no support for the G3's. I can test that with some of these builds but there is no assurance that the betas in developers hands now will be the installer that is released- naturally.
But this installer thing makes me wonder about an upgrade version? s -- Thanks,
