Jeff, I've installed OS 8.6 a number of times, primarily from a 8.6 CD. That said, I think most of the disk out there used 8.5(?) and then provided an 8.6 updater.
I'm not sure it matters, but how are the CDs labelled....and/or what Systems are actually on the CD? > >I was hoping I would be able to clean-install 8.6 over the 9.1 that's >currently running (SLOWLY) on my 2400. > >Everytime I try, the Mac install app tells me that it won't run on this >machine (the 2400). > >I've tried other tricks like using the Mac OS 9.1 install to try to install >the tomes to no avail. Anyone have any tips on how to get this iMac's OS >8.6 to install onto a 2400? > >- Jeff Ralph Mawyer, Jr. San Antonio, Texas Associate Editor mac2400 ... http://www.sineware.com/mac2400 Your PowerBook 2400 Reference Site "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
