I hope you got it cheap given how inexpensive old white iBooks are. I  
certainly wouldn't spend much, if any, money on upgrading it. Also I  
hope you didn't get the 233 MHz version which is crippled by a lack  
of L2 cache.

You don't need to install OS 9, but the partition that you install to  
must be the first partition and it must be smaller than 8 GB.

Here's some more information on this machine:

You can run Panther or Tiger if you want via XPostFacto: http://
