So, if you need to boot in OS 9 (like I still need to) it too must be installed on that same 8 gig partition, correct? By the way - I ran into this problem when I ran the updater for 10.2.3 - It apparently deleted the current System file (10.2.2) and installed a brand new one - *outside* of the 8 gig limit (the drive is not partitioned). When I restarted, all I got was the grey apple screen - no rotating/spinning thingee, no desktop. It wouldn't do anything. I had to use my Norton Utilities disk and run speed disk to defrag and move all the files to the beginning of the drive, using the "format for CD-ROM Mastering" option to get all the files moved to the beginning. It was fine after that. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
