Put the hard drive you want to use into the iMac. Then hold down
the T key while powering on the iMac. If a yellow firewire icon
starts bouncing around on a blue screen, you're in business.
Connect the iMac to your Power Mac G4 with firewire cable, then
start up the PowerMac and use its Disk Utility to partition t the
iMac's hard drive. Once that's done, use the G4's DVD to install
OS X 10.4 on the iMac.
Again, good luck!

Thanks to everyone here, I have a working G3 iMac almost ready to
go for my Mom! I think she will be thrilled. :)
I did as Jim outlined above. installed the HD in the iMac,
connected it to my G4 Powermac via firewire, started the iMac up in
Target Disk Mode, ran the install DVD from the G4, repartitioned
the iMac drive, ran the install, shut them both down, disconnected
the firewire cable, booted up the iMac and all is good! Now I just
need to add some software to it and probably get an airport card so
she can tap into her apartment complex's provided wifi.
Anyone have any suggestions for free software that a 70ish retired
lady would like? I need to find her a solitaire game for sure,
because her last computer was a Windows box years ago and she
played a lot of solitaire on it. :)
I really appreciate everyone's help!
Thanks,
Kevin Avery
