OK, this is the deal, I have had an old beige G3 around the house not doing anything. I wanted to make a print server for all my printers so they would be in 4 different rooms. So I know who can do this w/ OS X works best w/ 10.2 though. I go through all the steps to upgrade the OS and stuff but forget to upgrade the ultra scuci card. I start to install 10.2 and about 3/4 of the way done it freezes. I think ok it can be done so I restart and take the dick out and I get this tan on tan like text and it is like can't find can't find, so ok gee what's that about. I try to reinstall 9.2 but it can't find the disk so I get out an old 8 disk and install that fine start the I install 9 then I try to install X again (not 10.2, 10.1.5 or something) it works ok so I have that installed now and it is working so I want to install 10.2 now that 10.1.5 same thing as last, but the screen gos blank  damn it!!!!!  ok now I restart the comp and I get the 10.2 think    but only a seconf letter it gets bars going across parts of it and freezes    now I try to go back and install 8 again and work my way back up to 10.1.5 starting w/ 8 I start from the cd and I go though the install step and it can't find the hard drive      I try it w/ the other install disk w/ no luck

I have know idea what to do, should I just scap it.
Sorry bout the spelling and the lack of sentences.

Thanks for anyhelp

If you think I should put this in a different section let me know and I'll do.
