Hi,
I am currently running OS 8.1 on a beige G3. I was recently given a copy of OS 9.1 but i am having problems installing it.
It says that you can install it from 8.1 or less but it also says i need to have 8.5 before i can do it:confused:
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

It has been a long time, since I was running 8.1. You might try to download 8.6 . Install it since it is and was the most stable of OS level in the 8 line. Then install 9.1. You might want to upgrade it to 9.2.2, which you can download also from here.
