Re: installation of Mac OS 7 on PowerBook G3
Hi I have run Tiger on a number of Lombards and the best method is to trick the installer or clone it. Never been keen on Xpostfacto and when you can get away with not using it I would suggest it and yes, 512MB is a must on a Lombard running Tiger.

When putting Tiger on a machine such as a Lombard all XPF does is spoof the installer (and assist with loading the installer if needed). It doesn't install any software on the machine. When using it to install Tiger on a Wallstreet XPF it does install stuff into Open Firmware and elsewhere. I used XPF to install Tiger on an original iBook.

The Lombard is the same as the non-Firewire iBook, it will run Tiger 10.4.11 natively without need to any of the XPostFacto modified kexts, but the problem is that the Tiger Installer has a script that checks the model version and won't allow a direct installation without using something like XPF or another method to get around this artificial installer limitation. You can clone any PPC Tiger installation and it should work on a Lombard without modification. If you use XPF to install Tiger, you don't need to install XPF, and can directly boot the clean Tiger installation. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).

Re: installation of Mac OS 7 on PowerBook G3
You can put 7.6 on a 2400 or 3400 Powerbook. The 2400 is something of a collector's item. I believe there was a g3 upgrade for it. 1400 can take it too.
