i had it on my reb b imac (233), and it 's great. i mean it's much improved over dp3, just like many others said. but it's not consumer ready. you can't use it as your main OS. all in all, it's great

i had it running on my 333 Mhz w/ 32 MB of RAm, and it was unbearibly slow.i think if you have more RAm on your machine (like 128+ MB), install it its a dream to use. good luck

I have tried it and no luck! iMac 333 , 96mb RAM. I get the broken system folder. I have reformated a hundered times, zapped and booted from cd and os 9 only. The installer launches, and then it tells me it will reboot the machine to install. Boom! Thats all she does. I have all the latest firmware updates. Using advanced options in the sys disk utility -> diagnostics, I get waiting/searching for root filesystem... indefinately repeating the phrase every minute.... Good Luck....
Tips welcomed...

I've got the same problem on 2 iMacs 350 with 64 and 128 Mo, slot loading CDs. The CD is working cause I've installed on a G3 and a 233 iMac with 32Mo...

I have an iMac 333- I installed it flawlessly, ran it for a couple of weeks, then erased it because I wanted to reformat the drive. When I tried to reinstall it, it wouldn't work- the disk would just spin forever. Long story short- my disk went bad. Burned disks don't last forever. Mine (a memorex) died in about three weeks. Just a thought.
