Hello there and thanks for letting me in!
Some time ago I got a Powerbook G3 Wall Street on Ebay so I could thinker a bit, learn about Mac and play some old games, it has been working fine, but I did the stupid thing about installing 9.22 without having a restore CD.
Since then I lost some functionality, as 9.2.2 doesn't include a trackpad control panel (I want tap to click, as the button is a bit "mushy" and uncomfortable). I already installed lots of software so I sucked it down till last week, when my poor hard drive finally died after 22 years of heroic service and probably previous abuse. I replaced the HD with a CF card and proceeded to reinstall, but seeing that there is no way of having the trackpad control panel option I donwloaded a 8.6 G3 restore image.
There started my grief: I don't own a mac, so I don't have a proper way of handling toast or dmg files. I use Linux and BSD, and was able to convert dmg to iso, but after burning the cd I found it wasn't bootable, all I got is the 9.2.2 bootable cd, but I can umount it if I boot from it. 8.6 works as far as I don't try to boot, but I can't force umount the hard drive to install...
Really, all I want is the bloody trackpad control panel thing to get tap to click, but I don't seem to find how. I would prefer if I could also just install the image, but I am not sure how.
Anyone could tip me over any possible solution? That would be awesome.
Thanks in advance too!
