This is because of that whole "I decided to try and bypass the whole Xpostfacto thing" part. XPF doesn't only fool the Installer into working it adds .kexts that are needed by OS X to function. Also, back when I has a Mac subject to the 8GB limit, I had to take it down to 7.65 GB or so when re-partitioning the disk for 10.2, or the OS X installer kept saying it couldn't install. Also, I don't think 9.2.2 is supported on the Wall Street. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
