Hey guys, I want to restore my iMac G3 and have the original disks ('Software Restore' and 'Software Install'). Both have options to essentially install OS9. What is the difference between the 2 ways of doing it?
Thanks

Restore sets it up as it was from the factory and install will allow you to pick and choose what goes where.
If you want the full nostalgic experience go for restore, you might find a few gems in the pre-loaded software. otherwise if your goal is to go lean, go for a minimal install.
Remember to check the mouse innards, their could be build up and junk on those white rollers where the ball sits.
Ahhhhh, 1999!
