Hi again Risto:

Nope, none of the jumpers were changed, as it turns out. The box has 2 CD 
drives, both scsi. The other IDE 
socket isn't used at the moment. I just saw an Ad on CraigsList today, for 
several bigger scsi drives at a 
great price, so I may be putting in some extra storage. :D

Risto, as you've probably read by now; I've got the G3 Beige up and running 
with Lenny and even a window 
manager, (XFce4). This was due in large part to your help, the only missing 
link was furnished by Nicolas, in 
terms of applying the Apple disk driver again as the installer corrupted it. 
Once I did that, I was able to 
boot into Linux using BootX. 

Thanks for all your help !
