Any advice on running 10.2 on a Beige G3MT 33Mhz and making it stable. I got it to installed but I have kernal panics and programs that will either not launch or just launch breifly. As well as many other small problems. What has worked for you?

I put an upgrade card from a now-defunct manufacturer in mine, and it doesn't support anything above 10.1.5. It is stable, though.

Installing OS X is usually a bitch on Biege G3's. I've installed 10.2 on both a desktop and tower 266 G3 and they run perfect.

It seems that beige G3's do work fine with 10.2.
I have a beige G3 333. I had to take out the drive and put it in a firewire enclosure. Install 10.2 then boot it in the biege. thats how I do it. I also find that anything higher than 10.2 doesn't not work. Meaning 10.2.1, 10.2.3 all the updates makes my Biege not boot. I have to go back to 10.2.
Hope this helps

With some loud music + a friend to chat nearby you can get alot done. - but jezz, I'd avoid it if I had the choice---- If only real people came with Alpha Channels.......:)

My 300MHz G3 works fine with 10.2--It installs normally and updates fine (currently running 10.2.6).

What's worked has been installing without the BSD Subsystem. But then I installed SystemWorks and it all went to hell.
It will be working fine then all of a sudden nothing will open and it's a matter of time before it greys out.

Huh...
My Beige G3-266dt runs fine with every rev. of OS 10.2.
I'd suspect you have some sort of hardware issue.

I'm running 10.2.6 on a Rev. A Beige G3, upgraded with a 500MHz G3 from Other World. It runs fine - no crashes, applications run, Software Update works without a hitch.
However, I did have problems similar to the ones the OP describes. It turned out to be a bad accelerator - I got a replacement, and everything started working correctly. If the machine has been overclocked to 333, try clocking it back down to the stock speed. If it's supposed to run at 333 stock, I'd still try clocking it down. I'd also spend some time looking at RAM - if you've got extra RAM installed, try removing one of the DIMMs and see if that helps things.
OS X is MUCH more fussy about hardware than OS 9 ever was. Problems that OS 9 will happily ignore can cause OS X to do weird stuff.
