Wall St. Panther X.3 install

2003-11-18 Thread VicNaz1
OK, I'm new on the gbook list but Ive been on the PowerBook list for years. 

Ok, I'm re-doing a Wall St. 266 from the ground up. I've already gotten the 
new stainless steel hinges, cover latch, etc. etc. and before I got around to 
getting the new memory, pair of 256 SODIMMS, I went ahead and tried to install 
X.3. I had heard that it wouldn't do it but I wanted to try anyway. I had just 
completely reformatted the drive and installed fresh 9.2.2 and went ahead and 
tried. To my suprise it went ahead and progressed with the install all the 
way to the 2nd to last step when it told me that I didn't have enough memory 
(only 96 at that time, last Wed.) so I let it close out. New memory came this 
morning, installed it, now maxed out at 512 (unless one of you has found a way to 
get even more RAM in this) and tried to continue with the X.3 install, it 
now, quickly comes up with the cannit install, unit not compitable with X.3 or 
words to that effect.

Anyone make this work yet? I even tried removing the bits of X.3 that the 
previous attempt had successfully installed thinking that some widgit had been 
left behind by the previous install and poisoned the further attempts. 

Any suggestions? If I can make this work I'm thinking about getting the G4 
500 card from Sonnett and installing it.

Thanks,
Victor

You'll need a hack like XPostFacto to install Panther on that Wallstreet.
I'm not sure however, that XPostFacto has been updated yet to support
Panther. Check VersionTracker for the latest version
