I formatted my blank HD with Drive Setup from my OS 9.1 utilities. I copied
X postfacto to that HD. I don't have a copy of OS 9.1 on CD, so I copied my

the installation CD's said it is supposed to have a OS 9.2 CD with it.
Apparently you have to have 9.2 installed before X. Is X supposed to work
on top of 9.1, or do I need to upgrade to 9.2 first?
Nope. 9.1 should do it.
Do you have a mix of different memory types, mixing EDO and FPM? OS X is really finicky about memory. I had one drive I attempted an install on which would not work, though XPF would take me as far as the verbose set-up. It would not restart the computer in X. So, I replaced the memory with 2 128 of the same kind, and voila! OS X.
