I have an imac G3 350Mhz Blueberry 196RAM,
and I want to know if it's possible to install Mac OS 10.2 on it.
I'm trying since yesterday...
I boot with the Jaguar cd 1 and it opens the installer.
So far so good...
But then, it suddenly stops and lock out.
Can anyone help me?

I installed it on my Dad's iMac 333, it had 196MB at time of install. What version of Mac OS are you currently running?

Hi all!
I am friend and work partner of this guy.
Let me tell exactly what we did:
He had before 10.1.5 and Classic OS 9.
Before formating the HD we updated the iMAC firmware
inside OS 9 just like apple tell on its page.
Then we tried and tried and tried to boot using Jaguar Disc one.
The CD drive goes crazy and keeps runing running
running as if it was uncompressing something, or copying
to HD.
The installer goes until the Language Choose.
Then, after it, it starts to 'Reading Packages' and do not
go on forward. It stay eternally reading packages.
If I try to open the disk utilities from the menu, it does
not open also. And everything working very slow, like if the
system were very very very busy.
We gave it up and then installed 10.1 WITHOUT Classic OS 9.
Apllied every Update and now it is 10.1.5.
What should we do?
We cannot try to apply Firware updates again!
We are without OS 9!
Thanks for your attention!

Well I'm installing Jaguar than i'm going to update it to 10.2.3
For you:
-customize the installation and uncheck
the additional applications and additional langauges.
- don't install the second cd because it has more print drivers
-use Pacifist to get the files you need later
-check your mac os x config,
have you modified it?
are there any problem childs running in your system?
-don't pause or attempt to quit the installation ( this caused a freeze on my friends 450 mhz iMac.)
How the install is going on my ibook:
-mac os x doesn't know the concept of time, it blatantly ignores it. (decreases, increases, busy like you said)
- for some reason it is like a kid, if you don't pay attention to it, look out!
-mac os 9 is annoying but it does not cause slowdown to your installation. It is your hard drive writing and the processor trying to keep up with all the seperate tasks
that's all i can figure for now
