Ebay! Look for Full Install of 10.2 or better yet 10.3. Both come on CD's. Be sure it's not some machine specific CD, but the real full install of Jaguar or Panther 10.3. What iBook? How much RAM? What CPU speed? 10.1 will not run anything new. Like I said you would be best off with 10.3 Panther.

Yes 10.3 Panther will run ok with 320 Megs RAM and that iBook G3. The Full install is what you want and comes on 3 CD's. I have seen some on Ebay for under $30. Down the line I would max out the ram to probably on that older iBook 640 Megs. Would make it smoother with a few things running. I have an iMac G3 333Mhz with 10.3. Your iBook will run it much faster and this is useable.
