I think I am going to put the hard drive back in the iMac G3 233mhz and boot into my 10.2 disc on that, and proceed to install on the hard dive from there, then just swap the hard drive into my other Beige G3. -Jeremiah

I've had 10.3.9 working on my beige tower for about 4 years now. It's actually more stable than my FW800 running 10.4.11, though slower. Before that I had 10.2.8 running on it, but 10.3.9 has actually been more responsive than the older OS. If anyone needs the XpostFacto settings I'm using, I can dig them out -- I recall there was quite a bit of trial and error to get things just right. I haven't actually touched XpostFacto for several years, it's that reliable now. When I want to boot into OS9, I just hold down the "option" key. Otherwise, it'll automatically boot into 10.3.9. Just wanted to let you know that it's do-able. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
