this instruction on how to is really helpful to someone that don't know what to do.
i found out useing xpostfacto on my Beige G3 AIO to install tiger was not the only thing i had to do. after i got tiger installed i had to do 2 terminal commands cause of my onboard video would freak out when i was doing anything that would make the HDD work hard or use allot of memory.
here is the document that tells you the terminal commands.

after i dod that i rebooted. i am glad i had a Radeon 7000 with a external monitor cause those terminal commands disabled my onboard video. so i went ahead and updated to the newest version of tiger which was 10.4.8 at the time and rebooted. the onboard video was not re enabled and never had it freak out and go black again.
but i have no choice but to use the onboard video (unless i want to do a hack that will allow me to hook the onboard monitor up to the Radeon 7000) but i like having a extended desktop now.
a Beige G3 is a bit more harder to get tiger installed on than any other Mac that i have seen. but now i know what to do to get tiger installed and working properly (as the onboard video hardware is concerned).
i looked in about this mac (apple system profiler) in the extension's and there is a few that xpostfacto install's before it boot's the installer.and a few of them are reporting a error and i will make a post about them and wont post about them here.
one more thing i was wanting to ask is that it seem's thet R.R. (the maker of xpostfacto) is nowhere to be found. the last post ever from him on the xpostfacto forums on OWC is in december 12 2005. it seem's he just stopped bothering with xpostfacto and went to other things. i wonder if there is anyo ther way to see if he is still around
