I recently received a G3 Wallstreet with a faulty drive. I have updated the drive with a 128gb SSD which I have initialised and formatted to Mac OS Extended once I had booted from there installation CD
When I install Mac OS 8.5 I am told that there is enough space on the disk and it will require 160 mb, however if I start installing I get a warning halfway through telling me that
"There is not enough space on the disk ""Mac OS"" to complete the installation 2312362k needed, 2096892k available. Remove some items on the disk and try again"
If I press "skip" the installation continues and completes but tells me some software could not be completed.
I can boot into the new install, but when I open "about this computer" it shows that Mac OS is taking up 18.4 mb of space and the bar is pretty much completely full, possibly meaning that it is full?
Could someone please explain if I'm doing something wrong and what this all means, I would really appreciate the help.
