other than

Hi,

Is it okay to say," He is ready to go other than putting on his jacket?"
Is it right to use the present participle after the phrase "other than"?

So is it okay to say," the computer is ready other than activating the operating system?"

Thanks!

For some reason, except for sound better to me in both cases. [ Other than the apples you just bought, we have no fruit. ] Perhaps someone else can explain this for me.
