    MacOS 8.6 on G4?

    well, he wanted to run os 8.6 because thats what he had. but the other guys are right, unless its the cd that came with the system, you'll have to get a later os installer. if you really want to stay in classic, go for os 9.2.2, other wise i'd say go with at least os x 10.2.8.
