HI
Ive got an older G3 IMAc - Blue with Firewire. Updated the firmware and tried a Tiger install (yep not supported - know that now). Got installation errors.
Reformatted the Hd with Disk Utility.
Dont have 10.2.4 CDs - only Tiger DVD.
Had a brainstorm and tried mounting Imac hd in...
Cos im tryiing to do something similar - clone a working laptop install of 10.2.4 to a G3 Imac . its all gone ok but the Imac wont boot to the desktop - seems to start up normally and loads everything id expect but just give me a spinning rainbow cursor alternating to the arrow and back again.
