blueberry clamshell (not firewire) OSX tiger?

See the thread "Tiger on Blueberry ibook?"

Hello,
The short answer is yes. BUT! If you don't upgrade your ram or hard drive you will probably have some problems. I just finished upgrading my Clamshell. I added a 512mb stick of ram ($150) and a 40GB hard drive ($130). At my local Mac computer store I purchased another copy of Tiger ($140) and had them install it on the hard drive before I put it in ( Otherwise you would have to use XpostFacto to install it). I followed the instructions on www.pbfixit.com for disassembly of the iBook and all went without a hitch. Good instructions.
So, for $420 I have breathed a little more life into this old Mac. Some would say just buy new or newer. New cost considerably more and newer only means you don't know what it has been through. I like my clamshell. It has class.

Hey Leo,
The instructions were good. I opened the website on my desktop and did all the work in front of the screen. The 40Gb would be better(you don't want to do this on a regular basis). Doing it your way (formatting after installation) means you will have to boot from a Mac OS CD or maybe TechTool Pro. Do you have Tiger on CD's? I don't know if Tiger will recognize the pc formatted hd and allow you to reconfigure it. I do know that last week I upgraded my iMac with a brand new hd (not initialized) and Tiger didn't see it. So I booted from OS9 and used the drive setup utility to initialize it. Tiger then loaded. I don't have a torx 8 either. The right size electronics screw driver will work (it did for me) because the screws weren't very tight. Finally, I'm responding to you on my Clamshell, wirelessly, with Tiger on a 40Gb and a 512mb ram stick installed. It seems to be working fine for me. Good luck.
