I just recently acqired a Digital Audio 733mhz for $25 (it needed ram
and a HDD which I had on hand). So I have it up and running, but I am
looking for advice for an OS. I have 10.2.8 installed currently. I
was wondering if this very old version of OS X is really of any use
anymore or whether I should maybe try a PPC Linux distro. I would
like to add that I have a copy of leopard from my Quicksilver but if
fails to install and Leopard Assist does not seem to work (I have
actually never successfully gotten Leopard Assist to work on a non
supported G4.). I had this issue with my old lampshade iMac 800mhz.
Try a CCC version of Leopard ... I have a DA Dual 533 running Leopard.
Yea. Put the DA into Target Disk Mode (boot holding down T key) then
connect it to your QuickSilver with a firewire cable. Use Disk
Utility on the QuickSilver to erase the DA's HD then use CCC to slam
a copy of your existing system onto it.
