I insatalled version 10.0 on my beige g3 300 it had many problems not finding the hd. Sometimes it would install and work for a few days, then all of a sudden not be able to find the hard drive. Also, when I tried to reinstall it, it would finish and when I rebooted it would have a kernel panic. Try Jaguar. 10.00 is too bugy. When it came out, it was still basically a beta. ~ Ben ~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "rb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "G-List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 12:14 AM Subject: Re: -- sick g3 tower -- & osX install.
