[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 1125826, member: 21908"] You can get that machine all messed up if you install Linux...so be carefully. You have to create a partition for Linux that Linux must format. If you remove the Mac OS you lose the firmware and putting it back is an issue. You have to use a PPC version of Linux not a windows one. We have not told you yet about installing OSX as the firmware must be updated to boot rom 4.19 before you can install OSX. If you want Classic you have to start with OS9.2.2. do the firmware update then install OSX up to 10.3. [/QUOTE]
