[SOLVED] Upgrade from Mac OS 9.2 to OS X

[windowsMe]

Hello.
I have an old iMac G3 tray loading machine that I want to upgrade from OS 9.2. I have OS X 10.2 Jaguar install discs laying around. They have a yellow/black X on them. Can I just turn on the machine, put the disc 1 in, restart, and press the "C" key to boot from disc? Or do I need to do something in advance?
Thanks

looks like it is possible and they say not go to past 10.2

I do have to ask...What do you plan on doing with a G3? There is no browser you could put on it that any secure site would take or even on some newer sites even support. Unless you plan on using it for just some old software, or just for fun, I say its time to recycle that old junker lol

As long as the disks are retail ones or were supplied with that particular model of Mac you should be OK. But if they were supplied with a different model the chances are that they won't work. Make sure that you have your OS 9.2 install disks, or a bootable backup, before starting; otherwise you may end up with a brick.

TBH, that old a Mac is probably better off running the Classic OS.

I'm just using the computer for fun and because it looks nice. I'm going to insert the discs and see what happens because it's really old and I don't need it. Thanks for your help!
