Ben, we can tell you're brand new to the list just by your question!

Below is a great link and I'll gladly take a penny for every question we've
seen about an install hanging on a beige G3. Trundle through the list a bit
and see what you find. We'd love to see a report that we can share.

I bet you could even do this:

and have enough fodder for several days of searching.

You'll find lots of answers like switching to text mode, making new cd's and
their formats.

Welcome to the list.
