iBook G3 Clam+10.2/10.3 BARE install


hi,
i'm planning on buying used ibook g3 300mhz clamshell 512mb ram, 3gb hdd. want know how small can make 10.2 and/or 10.3 (with updates, etc) run on 3gb drive. preferably want use panther, no tiger presently, that's out of question, plus ibook not have firewire. plan use ibook safari browsing , word 2004 (or .x), yeah..

 

i believe if leave out extras, can install down little on 1gb. it's been while since did stripped down install, pretty sure that's range. under 2gb in case, should have enough space copy of word , few files..

1 suggestion: if you're comfortable poking around inside computer, might see if can find older ~10gb drive replace 3gb 1 with. not space, speed, since you'll limiting access faster part of drive.

know i've got @ least 1 6gb 2.5" drive laying around @ work, i'd guess buying 1 used can't expensive...
