Install OS 10.4 on PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz?
« on: August 15, 2011, 06:33:31 PM »
Hi,
On vacation in Greece where I have my old PB.
Tried Google without success.
Will this PB support OS 10.4?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you can install 10.4. Even the earliest 15 inch G4 PB can go up to 10.5.8. How much RAM does it have? You need a bare minimum of 512 MB and 1 GB would be preferable. Does the hard drive have enough space for the installation? 10.4 will take up about 4 GB and you should maintain free space of at least 5 GB (and preferably 10).
