Ben, You aren't going to be able to get 10.0 on your 3400 with those specs. The minimum for X is 128 Megs of RAM. You would need to max your 3400 out at 144 first. Next you don't really get an option of not installing all the other language junk on install though you can use Delocalizer afterwards to free up space. You will need more than 2 gigs just for the installer to be able to write the files then move them around as it optimizes. Finally your 3400 will be slower than most people can bear to use if you do manage to get X installed. Some people have been able to.... some never can get it to work... just seems to be a computer whim whether it will work or not. Personally after reading people saying that they had to use a special version of Mozilla 1.3 that was updated for OS9 to use G-mail, I downloaded it. It was *agonizingly* slow on a 3400. I can't imagine dealing with a whole operating system that would run that slow. I kept it just in case I need to order something from a site that iCab won't work with. My advice download iCab. It works great on 3400's and if you set the Javascript Identity to IE 5.5 and the Network Identity to Mozilla/4.0 almost all websites work. Of course G-mail won't work but Yahoo mail does and its free too. I won't waste anymore bandwidth telling you why I love my 3400 but its on my website if you're interested. The 3400 is a great low end PB just don't try to do more than its designed for. Matt aka HamletUSMC http://www.geocities.com/hamletusmc/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
