[QUOTE="DAC1138, post: 128776"] thanks. ill try a lower version of os x. "Taking the drive from the beige and putting it in the BW isnt going to work either because OS8.6 is configured for the beige not the BW." i took the hard drive out of the yosemite and stuck it in the beige and it worked. i left the hard drive in the beige, so now the beige g3 has the 9 gb HD from the yosemite. its running os 8.6. so how come when it was originally in the yosemite, it still wont boot? you say you hate ubuntu? i love it, on the PC side anyways. its the only distro to get all of my hardware working out of the box. even my wifi card, which is a big surprise. if you use another distro on a mac, which one? have you seen the yaboot problem i got when/if you tried ubuntu on a mac?
