[QUOTE="desines, post: 20434"] Need some help w/ a mac i am struggling to put together.. Having been having problems installing OS on the system.. basically it is a beige desktop. upgraded processor to g3 400.. has about 256M RAM. not too familiar w/ installation of OSX operating system. Have set HD to master and cd drive to slave. both drives on same channel. Not sure which channel they are on. I know on board the way it is laid out.. <-----------SCSI-----------> <-------IDE---------> <-------IDE---------> not sure which of the 2 channels is primary and which is secondary. should both the cd and hd be on same channel setup as master hd and slave cd for install??? also when booting from OSX cd, is there anything special that i should do or should it just boot up to install after i turn on the mac?? desparately seeking help.. i am used to working on PC's and thought it would be similar... thanks in advance for the assistance..
