Good question and I don't have an answer to that. Sorry

I own a Mac Mini, and I have found an older G3 system. I would like to put Panther on it!

I have a retail version (10.3.0)

Here is what happens (See Screenshot 1)

It have tried this 3 times, and it just continually tells me to restart the computer. It shows the boot screen for about 30 seconds, then shows this screen.

The System Specs are as follows:

233MHz G3
64MB Ram
4Gb Harddrive
CD-Rom, Zip

According to the requirements of Panther, you need a G3 processor.

Thanks,

Kayle

C.J.,

You hit it. That was something I think we all overlooked. Kayle needs more RAM installed to at least 256 Mb to install OS X.

You need more than 64 MB RAM. My Panther box says:

Requirements

Macintosh computer with PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor; built-in USB; and 128 MB of physical RAM.

The original PowerMac G3 can be upgraded to receive up to 768 MB RAM so I bet it would run pretty well with that and xPostFacto (which I haven't tried).
