The box should come with a HUGE warning sticker that forbids buyers from actually installing Norton on their OS X systems. Run off the CD, it's fine, but any of Norton's EXTREMELY insidious system patches are GUARANTEED to destabilise your system.
My best suggestion to you is to wipe the drive again, reinstall OS X and 9.22 or whatever you have there and do **NOT** install Norton on the drive. Run it off the CD **only**. _Chas_ Moderator, rec.arts.drwho.moderated FAQ: www.thecabal.org/~radwm/radwm-faq.txt Charter & Styleguide: http://www.thecabal.org/~radwm/ Discussion group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modish/ Quotefile nominations: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
