The very best way if you can do it is to find a developer copy of 8.6 as
it's just a normal install CD - if you know anyone who works at a mac
software company then they'll probably have one or more lying around...
(OT)Does anyone else remember the old developer CDs where Apple were still
creative about the covers and did a load of film and TV parody covers -
Silence of the RAMs, Northern HEXposure etc...
