If that's the case, then know that when I got my PowerBook G4 17", I cloned the Mac OS X system partition on my PowerBook G3 Pismo and restored it over the PowerBook 17 internal hard disk (which I did while in FireWire target mode). Since my PowerBook G3 Pismo didn't have some G4-based applications (like GarageBand), after I checked that the cloning was successful and that I could boot the 17", I then proceeded to install the missing applications from the installation DVD that came with the 17". I've been using my PowerBook 17" for over a month now without any adverse effect. I believe that, except for some applications, the OS X system installation is always the same no matter what the target Macintosh is. For instance, all installations I've done on various Macintosh have all the video card drivers for all the cards supported by Mac OS X, no matter if a given card would be usable in that Macintosh or not. So, if OS X runs fine on your iBook G3, then it should work fine on your iBook G4... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
