To start with does your system meet the OSX "mininum requirements"?
The amount of people that don't read these is truly astounding and to be fair an iMac G3 is RIGHT near the bottom of supported models...I personally think it's too low powered.
If it does then nip off to your local Apple store buy a copy of Tiger and insert the cd. Follow the instructions and HEY Presto...done!

To go to a lower version of Mac OS you'll need "Toast CD Burning Software" to open the toast image of Mac OS9 that you downloaded illegally.

Finally DMG files won't operate on the exsisting file system you have. You need OSX for that.
