First of all, I want to thank you all for the help I've been getting.
I am happy to have joined a list of such helpful and friendly people.
However, I've read so many posts that I am a little confused.
Regarding installing X, I got conflicting information, or it appears
so (see below). Please someone explain to me what should I do:

Your iMac will require two partitions- one for OS 9 and OS X.
I don't know who wrote this:
Both 9 and X must remain within that first 8 gig partition.
The ROM won't recognize that an OS is installed if it (or any parts of it)

The computer is an iMac G3/400;
10GB HD;
384RAM;
OS 9.2.1.
Thanks
