that it will still work in 10.4.
Before messing with XPostFacto, check and be sure you really NEED it
to install 10.4. I believe all but the original model PowerBook G3
will run 10.4 without XPostFacto, the only issue is the installer
won't let you install it.
But you can get around that by installing on a supported machine and
then transfering the install to the unsupported machine. A bit more
difficult with a laptop, but if you have a supported machine, you
should be able to turn the laptop into firewire target disk mode and
mount it as an external hard drive on the supported machine and do
the install that way.
The reason I say to check this first is I've had issues with
XPostFacto making less than stable installs as it changes some other
stuff on the install. That is fine if the machine genuinely isn't
supported, but on a machine that can run 10.4 without messing with
the installation, you are better off doing it clean then hacked with
XPF.
