Well... I can't find an International English patch let alone a French one. If you are happy with a US English install (and if it will work), that should be OK I guess. > I have a 9.2.2 disk, not sure I can shove it in with OS 8.1 > running to be over written and hope the step is not tooooo > steep!?

Nah, the problem is that the Mac OS 9.2 installers will look at the StarMax, pull a face and refuse to install. There is a program that you can use to fake the machine's indentity, but it seems that you actually need to patch up the operating system in various places to make it run correctly on a StarMax. And the patchers only work on the 9.2.1/9.2.2 updaters from Apple, not from an install CD>If you know b > Anyway.

I don't think 9.2.1/9.2.2 work on anything less than a G3 (the requirement for X) but I don't know for sure. > I however know what you may mean about loading frog software. > I made a grave error in being persuaded to load wanadoo off a > wanadoo disk and am still paying dearly for it... I didn't have the easiest of times with ntl either - their dial-up CD contained FreePPP that didn't want to stay connected, and I had to manually remove all that and go back to Remote Access. And then their cable CD was worse, opening a critical Web page in BBEdit instead of a browser, because it relied on Apple Browser Launcher which was removed from Mac OS 9 (when they should have, I think, performed a file:// URL launch). And it messed up other stuff that I was able to sort out, but most people would have been screwed... Though they've always offered a good Internet service, just awful install CDs for Macs. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
