Hey! I'e forgot an important tip about installing Tiger on G3's that just have the onboard video:
BEFORE running XPostFacto and BEFORE running the Toger installer, INSTALL Mac OS Jaguar 10.2, then update to 10.2.8, and then REMOVE the damned ATI driver that does not function well. After these steps, boot into Mac OS 9 and tell XPostFacto to install Tiger on the Jaguar partition. Making things this way, you will never get problems with onboard vide and Tiger. -- MaGioZal. <http://fotolog.com/_magiozal/> On 6/14/09 6:58 PM, Kris Tilford at <ktilfo...@cox.net> wrote: > Yes, Tiger can run on this computer with the assistance of XPostFacto > 4.0.
