Put the 9.x install CD in the CD-ROM drive on the computer and boot from it. It will boot a barebones OS 9 and then take you through the installation process. I've clean-installed systems from 8.0 to 10.1.4 on a 3400c. There's no trick to it (except for OS X, of course...). BTW, the original PowerBook G4 shipped with OS 9.1. I think the last Pismos did, too. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
