I have just downloaded the OS 8.1 upgrade from Apple and tried to use it
for OS 8 on a G3.

I have failed each time, with a message, after updating the disk drivers,
which says "A US English or International English version of System
Software is required to install this update on volume ...
Please check your configuration"

The only option is OK, which produces a screen saying "An error has stopped
the installation process. Some software has not been installed." The
options are to try again, which produces the same result, to stop, to skip
installing this software item only. When the last is chosen, the message
comes that insallation has finished, but the system is unchanged.

What am I doing wrong?  Has anyone else had similar difficulty? 
Can anyone suggest a way round this impasse? Advice would be much
appreciated.
