See your installation manual for instructions. If you can't start up from the Mac OS CD, or you're installing from a network, be sure to do the following additional tasks: � If you are upgrading from Mac OS 8.1 or earlier, you cannot perform the installation <unless you start up from Mac OS 8.5 or later.>" ...
