Will the iMac boot up from the USB stick/flash drive? I thought G3's could not boot up from a USB drive. After making the Disk Image, would I just drag it on to a flash drive or does it have to be installed on it? Also, 10.3 is currently on the iMac.. It's been a while since I have done an upgrade. So would Archive and Install till be an option?
