small harddrives & OS X

[KernelSanderZ]

When i attempt to install OS X on my G3 233 Desktop with 112 RAM I get a hard drive error, my 8gig drive contains folders sys9.0.4 & the 9.1 System Folder with 2.49gig remaining, i get the error "install has to be within first 8gig of drive", So do i really need that 20gig external? will it work on a freshly formatted 8gig ? i think i need at least 10/. Will it give me another error after this, saying i lack 16meg for mininmum RAM requirements?

Yeah, you're going to have to install it on a fresh 8 gig drive, so backup the stuff you have now and then install it and 9 on new partitions. And you're going to definately want more ram.
