Yup.  That's why I specified using USB.  Although as another poster noted,
there are some G3s that have firewire.  Mine does, for example :-)   But I
didn't use it, and didn't specify it in my post.

Installing Tiger isn't "supported" on G3s either.  Sometimes you need to do
a little experimenting to see what works even though it isn't technically
supported.  Yes, you CAN boot from USB on a G3.
