Before you go shopping take a close look at all the cables,
connectors and adapters. For power an extension and/or "Y"
cable might come in handy.
I don't think i have got one.
See also http://www.lowendmac.com for indentifying just exactly
which model you have. The site also has a fair bit of other
useful info.
Another good resource is http://forums.macosxhints.com/
Good links, thank you.
Oh, and before I forget, _some_ of the G3 iMacs can boot from a
USB drive or memory stick. This may be your easiest path if
yours is one of them. If you have a spare USB drive, it wouldn't
hurt to try.
The problem is that with mem stick i'm unable to do an apple bootstrap
partition.
But i have had an idea: can someone create a blank image with dd that
fits into my usb key, partition with mac-fdisk ( of course if it
supports using a file as a device ) as described into debian install
guide [1], compress it to the best ( bzip2 or maybe even better 7zip )
and send it to me?
The command here is:
dd if=/dev/zero of=image.img count=247296
to create a 126615552 byte image, that is the poor size of my usb key.
Then i'll try putting it to the key always with dd, hfsutils are also
avaible on x86.
