sorry for the incomplete description, it is a G3/233 wallstreet, and
it does have L2 cache (512k). i have downloaded xpostfacto and will
attempt to install panther. but i only have 96MB of RAM, so i guess i
will have to upgrade that first (unless i can use virtual memory?) i
don't really care about speed, i just want to go thru the install on an
apple machine before i try the more frightful sounding panther install
on an older upgraded clone. i also just want to familiarize myself with
OSX, because i haven't really had the opportunity to use it before.
what about the format of the HD? does it matter if it's HFS or HFS+?
TIA,
john
There was a model with a 233 that had an L2 cache as well as the model
that did not.

What do you mean by stock?
Early WallStreets had 233 MHz cpus, no L2 cache. For OS X that's
slow. Improved models have 266 or faster, with L2 cache. Makes a lot
of difference.
