Yes, load the X CD while in OS 9.1, and then OS X boots from the X install CD, and the install goes from there. OS 9.1 has nothing to do with it after the X install CD reboots your machine. > 2.

Much, much happier. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... anything less than a G3/350 is only good for looking around in OS X. To really use X, a G4 is the way to go. A fast G3 wouldn't be bad. But altivec matters in OS X. > Loaded questions for sure but as I said, a very blunt "yes" or "no" > would be enough for me to start combing through the archives and > elsewhere for more details on such things as Xpostfacto, etc. You ever seen me answer yes, or no, before?
