[QUOTE="dadsgravy, post: 1045791, member: 19086"] "Good point about the firmware update, but Mactracker says there is none." You're right. Didn't even see that. This is what low end mac has to say: [url=http://lowendmac.com/pb2/wallstreet-powerbook-g3-i.html]PowerBook G3 Series (WallStreet)[/url] Maybe it's a matter of partitioning? That's what I'd try next. Older macs can be very strange from what I've read. I've never dealt with one and don't think I ever will. Still have no idea why the backlight would go out during install. Strange. I wish you luck with this though. It sounds like it's going to be a challenge. Search low end mac and use google. Hopefully someone will come a long with a solution, but that's a long shot. Oh and I guess an obvious question would be, are you sure you are using the original 10.2 disc? not a machine specific one? If there is such a thing. Anything before 10.3 is out of my range, but I read a lot. [/QUOTE]
