Unless I'm mistaken, Jaguar is quite capable of being installed from its own install disk. I don't think there is any technical reason why an OS-9 installation is any prerequisite. And even if you later needed to run an OS-9 utility like DiskWarrior, just boot from the CD and use it. OS-9 does not have to be resident on your hard drive. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc.
