&gt; 1. I have a 350Mhz G4, bought in early 2000, still running 9.2.2 but 
it<br>&gt; &gt; won't accept OSX. It just gets to the point with the blue 
screen with the<br>&gt; &gt; Apple logo and the little spinning wheel. I 
just keeps spinning.<br>&gt; &gt; I changed the original 10gig hard drive to 
a 40gig for operating software<br>&gt; &gt; and application., I also put in 
an 80gig for my working files. I am running<br>&gt; &gt; with about 896 megs 
of ram. Why will it not accept Panther or Tiger?<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Is your G4 a 
PCI Graphics (aka Yiikes,) M7631 or a AGP Graphics (aka<br>&gt;Sawtooth) 
M6921, M7532?<br>&gt;The Yikes needs no Firmware Update.<br>&gt;The Sawtooth 
needs Firmware Update 4.2.8.<br>&gt;Furtheron I would always install Jaguar 
or Panther or Tiger first and after<br>&gt;that OS 
9.2.2.<br>&gt;HTH,<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Jo

Thanks Jo,
The machine is Sawtooth. The firmware is up to date, but the installation 
process only gets to the spinning wheel and the  grey apple logo. I will try 
the Tiger install first then 9.9.2.
Thanks a lot for the advice.
Richard.
