Hello. Let me start out by saying that I am COMPLETELY new to Macs. I bought an IMac G3 for $20 with the hopes of general web browsing. It came with Linux installed. I HATE Linux! The guy who sold it to me didn't know too much about linux, but said he didn't think the CD ROM works on the IMac, but I think this is because he did not have it mounted in Linux.
My question is, how do I get a squeaky clean install of ANY Mac OS on here. I know 7.5 is freeware. I have a slot loading drive on this IMac, and a 400 Mhz CPU.
So, for the time being, since I do not know how to mount the CDROM in this horrible Linux enviroment, I cannot bun anything on this Mac. I have a PC that I can use to download/burn files if need be.
As stated before, I do not know anything about Macs, and do not know how to get rid of Linux and install an older Mac OS. I would need step by step, and links to files I may need.
This Linux is getting irritating! HELP!
