I have an oldworld mac beige G3 and I have tried to install linux on it, but in the process destroyed the OS 9 setup on the box (for which I had no CDs/licence for - I bought the box second hand).
When I mentioned this problem before people were kind enough to point me in the direction of rescue disks that allow me to boot the box, but they don't really help me install Linux at all. I have also bought (via ebay) a Mac OS 8 cd (which I simply cannot install or boot) and a set of Mac OS X disks (which were advertised on ebay rather badly and so I didn't realise they were for a powerbook) - trying to boot this results in a sign of a torn up folder. Is there anything I can do other than pay through the nose for an operating system I don't want?
