Hi Listers- I'm a new to owning a Powerbook and have some questions.
I recently bought a used 15", G4, 800 MHz Powerbook which has Panther installed. The seller gave me the set of system discs that came with the machine, 10.1, without the Panther upgrade discs and without documentation. The owner also had no need for OS 9 so there is no classic installed. Owning a lot of older Macs with different requiremets for installing OS 10, I need some help on the following, and anything else that I might be over-looking from lack of experience-- I also purchased a used, full install set of Panther discs (without printed documentation). Would this software have the Powerbook CP's or any components that might exist for the Powerbook? I didn't see Powerbook specific Panther installation discs at Apple. Is it necessary to partition the 60 GB drive when I install drivers for 9.2.2-to create a separate partition for each OS and relating to this question, does this machine boot in 9.2.2? The machine is beautiful and runs very fast in Panther--I am overwhelmed by it. It also seems to get very hot on the bottom--Is this normal and OK? Thanks in advance for your help. dan_A -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
