[G4] G4 Sawtooth/Tiger Install

[Larry Campbell]

Hi Bill, I have a G4 400 mhz APG powermac. It originally had 256 mb of  
ram and a 10 gb hard drive. I added 1gb of ram and a 120 gb hard drive  
to it. I used disk utility to set up the hard drive, then I installed  
Tiger with no problem at all. I did not have to install OS 9. I am  
running just fine.
