There is no need to install X over 9. You should be able to install the drive, boot to 9, format the drive and run XPF to install X from the CD, boot X on the new drive and then install your G3 support. If you need to run classic, you can then install it at that point.
You don't need to have 9 installed to run OS X, true, but if you ever
have to zap your PRAM or you have any other problems that require you to
cold-restart on an unsupported machine, you'll be glad you gave up a few
hundred megabytes to a bootable copy of 9.
Man, ten years ago if someone had made that last comment, I'd have looked
at them like they'd grown an extra head. A few hundred megabytes? We were
running multiuser development systems with 140M and 380M drives, and even
a few 40M ones still in operation.
Please inform as to how you use XPFacto to run OSX without having OS 9.x ????? I don't think it can be done....Will S
