Kris, Maybe this is the magic wand I'm looking for. Ur method certainly sounds good. I looked for ethernet in the system folder on my 9.1...found nothing about ethernet. This just means I don't understand the details, I'm sure. I know quite a bit about macs & their operation but I learn things new all the time.
I really want to follow thru with ur recommendation. So, TomeViewer????, Educate me, never heard of this. All I know is I can't copy of some ext. ethernet in 9.1 and then reload 9.2 and replace it with my copy of what I don't have. Make me smarter, please. russ On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 6:18 PM, Kris Tilford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Nov 9, 2008, at 7:42 PM, Russell Brantner wrote: > >> Thanks for the thought, Deaner.
