Timothy, First install the mac OS 9.2.2 if you had not done this before. Once this is installed, reboot with the jaguar cd and on the install on the very first thing after the partition you must go into the language portion of the file menu and get rid of the languages you will not use and then continue on with the setup. You should not have any other problems as long as all of your hardware is working correctly. ADG

I'm pretty frustrated at this point. At long last I finally get the chance to install Jaguar on my beige G3/300. I backup my HD, put in my new 40GB drive, and boot from the system CD to partition the drive because of the 8GB limitation. (The drive setup tool on the Jaguar disk was worthless.) Then I boot the Jaguar CD. Half hour later, it finishes installing the first disk and reboots. It never comes back up. I get a white screen that says "can't OPEN: can't OPEN: can't OPEN:" about two dozen times, then the display flickers to the gray "happy Mac" screen with mouse pointer for a few seconds, then restarts. It will keep doing this until I power down. I tried googling for "can't OPEN" in relation to OS X, but the only pages I find are in Japanese. :P Apple tech support had me remove stuff one piece at a time (3rd party video card, 3rd party RAM, all external devices, etc) but nothing helps. All I have left to try are the Apple A/V card and DVD that shipped from the factory with it when I bought it. The only other suggestion Apple has is "upgrade to a newer computer". Well that won't be an option for at least a year if not more. I need to get this to work. Help?!?! Please????
