Don't know what Rev. iMAC you're using, but I have it on a Rev2 Bondi Blue,
and it installed without a problem...just telnet to imac.just4clicks.com I
even have sites hosted on it. Customers are telling me it's faster than my
Penguin machines, or my (yeeeech) Cobalt servers...

As far as the install goes, make sure you do EXACTLY as the manual
specifies...minimum install of OS8.5 or better, and partition it for about
1GB...

Hope it helps...

Yeah, I've got CS 1.1 and I think I read all the iMac notes :)
I'll give a few more things a try and get back to ya. Ta.
