Best way is to wipe the drive by initializing it with your CD,
reinstall OS 9.0 and update that 9.2.1 over the internet if you have
cable.

I am ready to sell my 8600/250, am a computer user but
not a techie, and need to know what's the best
practice for a few things:
- What is the best way to clean off personal files,
preferences, and some software that didn't ship
orignally (e.g. like Finale and some shareware music
programs). It works fine as it is and I'd like to
change the absolute minimum.
Currently running 9.0 - have the CD and the original
disks shipped with the 8600. I believe there are even
a few folders on the HD holding the intermediary OS
files, that say things like "OS8 System Folder". Is
there a utility already available which can clean this
up? FYI I don't have a connection from the mac to the
internet.
- I will post this for sale (and other items) on the
LEM-swap list; can anyone suggest other likely places
I could post, especially that might include the
Boston, MA, area? I would prefer to sell to someone
local (New England) and not to get onto ebay, but
please let me know if ebay really is a good idea
anyway.
FYI I'm posting a similar request on the powerbooks
list.
Thanks.
