10.0.2 is a beta release. It was offered as beta and was mostly
for developers.

I strongly suggest finding a copy of 10.3 (Panther). This release
was the most efficient on older systems and since it is one OS
release back from the current (10.4 Tiger), and you should be able
to find it very inexpensively.
