I am trying to update an iBooks G3 clamshell 366 with 320 mb of RAM. It seems to be having a lot of problems. I am not sure if it is the hard drive or the age of the computer that is the problem. At the point that I am writing this e-mail I have tried several things. The installation says that it has 10 minutes left. The installation is on loading different print drivers. Every thing seems to be ok. I have loaded other macs from my fire Maddog DVD burner. Hopefully it works.
