Need help with Mac OS X (old). I took this iMac G3 beauty apart, cleaned it, scrubbed it piece by piece. It niw looks like brand bew. When I added a new user, startup hangs where the login dialog should be displayed. Leaves me with a working mouse pointer on a white screen. I'm searching the logs for hints.

And yes I did not post for a long time. Was drowned in work. Now corona pinned me down. And I want to see this beauty working.

And yes: I tried restoring. Burnt a biot CD but the drive wont work.
