I have used Macs since the LISA but have not been able to go to OS X because
I've been using a PowerPC G-3 233 (Beige) Desktop w/160MB ram running OS
9.2.2.
I now have acquired a iMac 600 slot loader, with 256 MB ram, 40 Ghz HD, w/
OS 9.2.2 and am going to have to initialize the system on the computer
because it was a university computer and software on it now has locked all
control panels.
I have OS X 10.1 software and installation instructions say partition the OS
X system in lowest 8 Ghz or less partition. Should I install OS 9.2 first
setting aside a partition for OS X 10.1 or what should I do? I most likely
will go to Panther if I have no problems with 10.1.

Before attempting any OS X install, boot into 9 and make sure the iMac is furnished with the latest firmware (4.1.9)
See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58174#iMaccdrw
IMHO time spent tinkering with 10.1 would be better spent earning money to buy 10.3.
