--thanks very much for the info... I would love to hook across and do the
update...I have 6 macs in the house and another pb(520c/ppc167) But believe
it or not I don't have a single SCSI cable anywhere... And being stationed
in Trukey, it's not like I can just run down and buy one..
I figured out the otp-apple-shft-delt combination to get the system to
boot from the cd, but I get all the way to the desktop with the cd
background and then nothing... no icons, nothing.. I can hear the cd
spining, but nothing else...
Can I copy my 8.1 system folder from my other pb, through the zip drive
ext onto my external zip and boot from that?
