Re: 8 gig limit on Beige

[Jason Lindsay]

One problem with this theory.  If you install X on a G4, and then 
transfer to a G3, you're going to run into issues because the install 
will load the Altivec extensions, which the G3 doesn't like much.  It 
will work, yes, but you're going to have a significant performance 
degradation.  That's why it doesn't load the extensions on the install 
on a G3.

You could do it on a B&W, or an iMac.

Very interesting. Has anyone else transferred a prebuilt disk to a 
beige G3 and it worked?  This would be the solution to a big 
limitation.  Just build the disk on a G4 in a firewire box and move it 
to the beige.

Hi guys, this is my first message, I am from Brazil.

A few days ago I installed my imac DV 20GB HD on my beige G3 for 
backup purposes. And it worked! Well, the surprise is cause it has 
booted on OSX installed on a 16GB partition. So the 8GB limits is for 
installation only. I didn't know that.
