Anytime man. Now do you have the luxery to reformat that drive and try again?

If you could prove you had a legit copy of X, I'm pretty sure some kind soul would upload some ISO's for you to try. I'd hope. You may have bad media.

I have 110% legit upgrade cd's, and my full intstall cd's were burned from my dads legit cds, just so i could use it without bugging him... but i think the problem was my cd rom drive was bad, so seeing as i have 2 extras of them, i m gonna try that. It would stop reading about 2 mintes before it gave me the error.

Well if it starts to boot from the CD-ROM, that should be okay. I'd sugg. reburning the CD's and maybe cotton-swabbing the laser w/ some isopropyl alcohol. Then try swapping out CD-ROMS. If the CD-ROM drive was bad, it would have been giving you more problems earlier in the install process (like the boot), rather than about the same time.

you really need 500 mhz to run X. Processor could be the reason you are having problems. Maybe you can try and copy over a whole hard drive full of data and boot it and see if that will work..? :blink:

its not the cpu. I had os x running on a 233mhtz bondi iMac for a good 2 years, i have it running on my 300mhtz pb g3, and i had it running on my frankenstein powermac g3 400mhtz. I'll see if my dad will take the drive to work and image it sometime this week and hope that works.

I'm glad it was just dirty CD's, and that it was not the CD burn itself. Enjoy X, and don't forget to upgrade that RAM! PC100 is the RAM it requires, and you can get that about anywhere, though the price has gone up due to availability, so it maybe the internet for you.

For those wondering:
OS X 10.3 is not compatible with Pre-G3 Macintoshes, the Original PowerBook, and Beige model G3's (AIO, Tower, Desktop). Processor speed is not a factor, just the board that the machine has. Using ex post facto will allow you to install 10.3 on earlier machines, but you will take a performance fall. So if anyone has any of these machines, it's ex post facto for you!

Whitlock, if you read his post, he says that he didn't get it installed. Try reading the whole post before making one. wink

Anyway, I would try imaging the drive and see how that does you. Good Luck.
