I have an old beige G3 tower. I have been unable to install 10.2. It always hangs during the install. First this was on the second CD installing the printing drivers. Now the install dies on the first CD. I have purchased and installed the Rev. C PROMs. The machine is a PowerPC G3 tower, 266 MHz, 384 MB. I run from an external 32 GB SCSI on a 5.85 GB partition. I have a small 10.1.5 system on the internal 6 GB ATA drive on a 5.84 GB partition. I could not boot from any larger partition. I also have addon FireWire and USB cards. DiskWarrior with Mac OS x 10.2 boots and runs. I occasionally have problems getting 10.1.5 running. All this aside, I have had a problem where something changes in the OS which causes IE 5 to die. This is due to IE 5 being unable to access QuickTime at startup. Trying QuickTime reports a network error. This time iTunes also dies during startup. The last time this happened I had to reinstall from the beginning using the 10.0 CDs. During the past year I have purchased a digital camera and now have a number of tools installed for 10.1.5. I have also tried to find and install as many 10.1.5. tools that still exist. When this happened Netscape is no longer able to play the new mail sound. I installed FireFox which works OK for now w/o QuickTime. I do not feel confident this time in a full reinstall. Any quick fixes or suggestions. Bob
