The best way is to first install 7.6 on another HD partition (strongly recommended to partition HDs) to preserve you current (unbroken) operating state. Then update to 7.6.1 (de rigueur). I believe I posted success on running Newer Xts w/761 a week or two ago. Alternatively, follow Apple's instructions for a "clean install". If your HD capacity is constrained, physically pull the extensions you need to preserve into another folder. But Apple's installer usually preserves (installed over renamed) system folders. Early adopters of the 2400 got System 7.6.1 on CD. I never got OS 8 with a 2400. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
