How do I install in VirtualBox PPC VM when installer sees 'i486' and bails?
I want to install TFF in a Snow Leopard VM where I run my old apps, but the installer sees the host processor is Intel and refuses to install.
I don't even know which PPC version of TFF to request.

Which installer do you mean? Regular TenFourFox comes as a .zip file (a zipped application), just unzip it, there is no installer that could refuse anything:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tenfourfox/files/fpr25/TenFourFoxG3-FPR25.app.zip/download
That said, I recommend one of the Intel versions of TenFourFox linked below to run in 10.6, since PPC G3 TenFourFox after v.31 (in my limited experiments) has a problem staring up in 10.6 using Rosetta, no matter if 10.6 is running natively or in a VM.

Oh wow, I didn't know TenSixFox existed. Thanks! I couldn't download it via old Safari, so I downloaded it on the host then copied it to the VM via share folder and installed it that way. Thank you!

It's running, but it's very very slow. To prepare to try to watch Hulu I'm downloading the Silverlight plugin within TenSixFox, but it's downloading at like 17kb/sec.

We don't maintain any Intel builds. You may wish to discuss this with their maintainers.
