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?

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!

Hi,
I've installed Jaguar on a lot of machines. On one machine - a slot loading iMac - I had a problem similar to your's. I found that the Jaguar CD had a scratch on it - and it wouldn't work. When I used a different Jaguar CD it installed with no problems. I think the slot loading machines are very sensitive to problems with disks.

Yes it definatly sounds like a CD / CD Drive problem to me.

You could try, sometimes works: Install using English, rather than a localised installation. After the installation you can always put the language back...

Yes they are, I think I posted about this a while ago.

I installed Jaguar on an iMac 333 yesterday. I had to make a copy of the Jaguar CD, and burn it with speed < x4 otherwise the drive wouldn't read the original disk (it was very slow to mount in the finder, and it wasn't able boot).
