I have a ibook color G3 300 MHz 576 MB RAM, Mac os 10.3.9 installed on it. I wanted to install os 10.4 with help of xpostfacto.
After restart boot failed with a lot of kernel errors -> HELP !!!!
I think my mistake was that i checked the "enable L2 and L3 cache".
Could someone please tell me how to boot from a cd and reinstall the os X 10.3 back ??

It looks like a fantastic program. I haven't needed to use it, but I've heard (and read a lot) about it. I'm hoping for some support for the upcoming Leopard OS, as this will be the first time that I've needed anything like this program. I have a G4 iMac, 800 MHz and it will fall just under the wire. Let me know if Leopard is going to be supported. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

I've been running OS 10.3.9 for about a year now on my 8600 (288mb ram) thanks to this application and a Sonnet G3/400 upgrade. It's a duel boot system with OS9 on one partition and OSX on the other. Saved me big $$$!!!

Thanks!
