One should never assume that a "newbie" is doing the
simplest,basic thing. The article I read about getting rid of the
error said I should reboot and push three keys ,one of them being h.
Thanks to you I pushed c while rebooting and now have 10.3.9 on
my G3. I was never able to get 9 to work and some have said you have
to do a clean partition to do that. I'll work on that another day.
Right now I am just happy to have 10.3 on. I've kept all of your
email for future reference.
I am familiar with the term,bios,from installing Linux on an
old machine. On this G3 it was 154. The upgrade took care of that.
Thank you.
