Hi Frank, Thanks for that Umax adventure story. It's a real testimony to what being clever with Umax can turn out. On your system blessing issue, what I see is my 9.1 settings are reversed. I usually use a copy of my 9.1 system with all favorite settings and extensions. So I copy that from a CD to one of the partitions of the freshly wiped HD. Then I make changes in Conflict Catcher and move files from my startup file to disabled startup items. Next XPF to install X and Conflict Catcher will revert to the previous settings Files I moved from my startup folder to disabled startup items are put back in the startup folder. I've installed X several times now on 2 S900's and this change is always made. I haven't seen the difficulty you run into needing a CUDA. However it's my habit to run Nortons from the CD and look at the condition of the HD for both 9/10 right after an install so that may be the reason I haven't seen that issue. Or using a disk tool might solve your problem. Good luck. Eric -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
