10.3 (Panther) has increased system requirements over 10.2 (Jaguar) as it requires the computer to have a USB port. This change in requirements means that beige Power Mac G3s and wallstreet PowerBook G3s are unable to run 10.3. Checks are made during the install process and hence installation will fail on older machines. This requirement can be overcome by using 3rd party software such as Xpostfacto.
