Trying to get any software at all to run on this old iBook G4. All downloads including f#$%ng flash for pbskids.org require os9 classic. I could swear that my previous search for this topic had led me to an Apple page where it could be downloaded from, but I can't find it now. So here's a bin for the clues that I have been able to find so far.
My system's stats are: iBook G4 with an 800 MHz PowerPC G4 (v3.3), 640 MB DDR SDRAM, running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
This page describes a process of just ganking the system folder from another mac:

Here is a page that supposedly gives hints on how to do exactly what it is that I am trying to do, except that the font and page formatting make it unreadable:

Here is the starting point of the intestine on the Apple "Knowledge Base":

Sadly, links from that page are no longer good (they redirect to a top-level search page)
I recall hitting this forum thread before, this is the one where somebody says that mac 9.2.2 is available "free from Apple":

OK, here is the Apple.com page that sure looks like it's a free download of 9.2.2:

end.
