Im Asking if i install 10.4 on an hd then through it in my imac g3 (without FW) would it work? Will have 256mb of ram In a bit...

If its a iMac with a firewire port it will run OS 10.4. You can install it in target disk mode via firewire. Your other option is making the hard drive an external enclosure and install it, then put it in the iMac

Yes. I did similar installation for a Powerbook Lombard. Works without problems.

I honestly would install Mac OS X 10.3 Panther on that iMac G3 for 2 reasons

1. It comes on CD's
2. It runs faster on the G3

I was unaware that questions came with expiration dates.

We thought long and hard before we answered you.
