This is just about the OS 8.6 Update installer hanging - try rebooting and zapping the PRAM before you run the update. When I got my copy, my mac guru friend told me that I should do that, or the installer would hang. I did it, and it didn't hang, so either he was right, or their was no problem =]. But as it's hanging for you, try giving it a whirl. Cheers, Evan -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
