The one where you say install 9.2.

From Apple I have 9.2.1 & 9.2.2 The instructions are to install the first then update it with the second. The problem I have is how do I get 9.2.1 onto a CD that is itself bootable.

I have the above on a CD but in order to see it I have to *install* 9.1 ! and this has been one of my dilemas.

Today I thought I would try putting 9.2.1 on a Sony Memory stick - booting the 9.1 CD - partitioning the disk as you have advised (I have done that step once ok so am confident to repeat it). Then rather than installing the OS from the 9.1 CD would install 9.2.1 from the mem stick (under normal circumstances I can 'see' the memstick ok - am assuming the CD based OS will see it as well).

I havn't got a firewire disk but do have 2 USB 30GB dirves but these are not seen by MAC OS unless I install thedrivers & these came on a Windows diskette but it is a catch-22 - I have to install an OS, to install the drivers, to install the 9.2.1 OS.

Will advise back if I can resolve this.

Cheers
