I'm running Panther on my Powermac G3 300Mhz. Yes u read it right 300Mhz. But i have load up 680MB of RAM. So 10.3.9 run without problem. A bit laggy when open up drive because of slow bus speed. Other wise is ok. But I didnt do work on it, it's my file server at home

If you want to run Tiger on ur iBook, disable spotlight & dashboard. load up ur RAM.

Put in the CD, restart ur mac, hold down the "C" key in your keyboard. Wait till the installation start. Proceed accordingly.

no, for OS installation u need an Apple Certified CD/DVD-ROM drive. Meaning those OEM drive that come with your mac. If your old drive are giving you problem, try borrow your fren's mac and install from there. Just get a Firewire cable, connect both mac. Restart you mac by holding "T" key. You will see your drive mount on your fren's mac. Proceed the installation by choosing you drive as target.

oh i just saw ur previous post. you should change the "Startup Disk" in the preference to your hard disk. You should not boot to the CD in this way. Another thing you should check is that the CD is working or not. Try to run it on another Mac. The CD should run as soon as you double click "Install Mac OS X" icon. Then it will ask u to Restart.

is that an original installer or its a CDR?
its a box retail or its bundle with machine?
have u set the startup disk back to your hard drive?

YOU SHOULD HAVE ADMIT it in your very first post that your cd is el-cheapo prates from lowyat. For PC software, u can go lowyat. For Mac, pls rely on frens or from the net, or get the proper one from Apple reseller.

And I think you can close this topic now.
