Something came up asking if I wanted to install and I clicked yes.

******************Please excuse me if this question has been asked and answered innumerable times.
I have a PowerBase 180 without a CPU upgrade and for several years have been using OS 9.1 with no real problems. Now I have a Power Mac and I'm switching to OSX, but I want to give the PowerBase to a computerless friend. I'm going to wipe the internal and external drives and re-install the OS and I'm wondering if it's possible to use 9.2.2, so that my friend will have the latest version. Also, I've noticed that 9.2.2 has Apple's disc burning program on it, which I think will be easier for my friend, a computer novice, to use than Toast. Does anyone have any experience with with this?
Here's my configuration:
PowerBase 180 80mb of RAM, 1 gb internal IDE CD player replaced with a SCSI burner External SCSI 2 gb drive (boot drive) External SCSI zip drive
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Hello:
I would not recommend using either 9.22 or 9.21. I tried using 9.21 once...I am now using 9.1 and have none of the trouble that I had with 9.21.

Yes, I agree with James. 9.1 is the way to go.
9.2 is only so it will be compatible with OS X.
Before you start wiping it, Remember, the H/Disk needs a driver. You may need 'Hard Disk Toolkit' or 'Mt. Everything' if the HD is not an Apple Supported item. The original PwrCmpting OS disk had an early copy of 'Hard Disk Toolkit' for this very reason.
