Since your machine is a stock G3 (came with a G3 chip on the board), all you have to do is boot from your Mac OS X CD and when the installer asks you, choose the partition you wish to install it on. Good score on the G3 MT, that is a good and expandable computer. My advice: get a Radeon 7000 PCI and a G3/800 ZIF upgrade...that will give you a massive performance boost. -Josh '...This isn't happening. And if it was happening, It would be alright. You'll see.
