Here's an interesting counterpoint to my previous experiences with an
OldWorld Beige G3 PowerMac...
I tried installing on a Blue&White G3 NewWorld (just barely! -- it
was one of the very first of Apple's NewWorld PowerMacs).
It has the G3 processor (no altivec) but the wigglys don't happen!
I installed from the Jan 21, 2007 09:10:17 UTC "businesscard" CD.
I haven't tried the whole testing process that Sjoerd recommended. I
will do that soon.
