[iBook] My ibook G3 800 mhz

[James Paul Manley]

I have the same problem. Your profile should look something like this:

Hardware Overview:

   Machine Name:	iBook G4
   Machine Model:	PowerBook6,5
   CPU Type:	PowerPC G4  (1.2)
   Number Of CPUs:	1
   CPU Speed:	1.2 GHz
   L2 Cache (per CPU):	512 KB
   Memory:	768 MB
   Bus Speed:	133 MHz
   Boot ROM Version:	4.8.7f1
   Serial Number:	UV4477RXRCQ

Mine is a late 2005 12" ibook. That is all the info you should need &  
installing is a snap.

Personally I don't use the keyboard because the letters rub off. I go  
to a used computer store & for around 8 dollars I can get a full size  
keyboard & if something happens it is a cheap fix.
