Kyle, thanks for the advice. I have stated many times, but I will try to do so with all of my messages in the future, that I have a 15" flat panel imac with combo drive (can view but not make dvd's), 10.2.0, formerly 10.1.5. so when I boot from my OSX cd, do you mean to simply start the computer with the OSX disc in the computer? (disc 1, not 2 I would guess) Thanks, Dale (pissed but still breathing in/out, in/out, ahhhh) G ===== "In most cases there is no free exercise whatever ... of the moral sense."--Henry David Thoreau -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
