I have just loaded operating systems onto 10 G3/G4s (donated by The

installing and the installation stalls after 15-20 minutes; sometimes
I cannot even find a destination disk.
I have partitioned the drive into one partition, checked out the RAM
(plenty of RAM),
Plenty of RAM ! ?
Why don't you remove all except a minimum single 128 Mb piece
and then try ?
I would guess you have a stick of Ram that is dicey ,
OR a Ram socket causing problems
IF you are in trouble with that piece of Ram , try another piece ,
And / Or try another socket
ALSO , before doing the above just run Apple System Profiler and see
what RAM it says you have in what sockets
It may give you a clue

checked the Pram battery and the pram power-on button, zapped the
pram...even changed hard drives with the same results. I have also
changed the cable to the HD.
I have used three different installation disk sets.
Time to give up or have I missed something here? Nice machine, pity
to dump it.
TIA
